 Switzerland played with Laaksonen, Ehrat, Nikles, Bellier und Margaroli.Switzerland lost 3x1, with team leader Henri Laaksonen losing once again his decisive rubber against a low-ranked player with a demotivated attitude, causing Switzerland’s relegation to Group II, the third level of world’s tennis.Serious questions remain about the financial support received by this player from the Swiss federation, despite the absence of any results over years and the fact that his nominations on the team prevent younger players (Bellier, Nikles) from getting a real chance to express their qualities on the court.
