The Argentine Davis Cup team will seek its qualification in the playoff against Belarus this Sunday, which throws a surprise 1-1 draw, after the first two singles were played this Saturday at the Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis Club with the presence of the public and with the unexpected defeat of Diego Schwartzman against the unknown

Daniil Ostapenkov

, barely 18 years old and without ranking as a professional.

From 11 o'clock, the team led by Gastón Gaudio will try to take advantage of the key when the doubles point is disputed between Horacio Zeballos from Mar del Plata, seventh in the world in the specialty, and

Máximo González

(25) from

Tandile

, against the best tennis players of the rival team,

Alexander Zgirovsky

(1233) and

Martin Borisiouk

(1408).

The fourth point will be played next by Schwartzman and

Erik Arutionian

, just 16 years old, and for the fifth point Guido Pella was announced against 

Ostapenkov

, although the captains can alter the names up to two hours before each game and if the series is resolved that last crossing could be canceled.

The key in the BALTC, qualifying for a play-off for access to the World Group starting next year, began this Saturday with the tough defeat of "Peque" Schwartzman - number 15 in the world - against the youth Ostapenkov by 6-4 and 6- 3.

Pella from Bahia equalized the score in the second crossing by beating Arutiunian 6-1 and 6-2, after an hour and 10 minutes before 3,000 spectators at the stadium located in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Palermo that again received the Cup Davis after 16 years.
