Grass surface this time. Greece defeats Germany 3-2, the third consecutive year with the same opponents and the same score. Leon Polychroniadis claimed two victories, including a straight-sets win against Renke Cananis, and Alexander Reimann wasn't nearly enough to make the doubles competitive for Germany. Johann Przalowik won a five-setter in the last match against Solitris Papadias, but it was too little too late.

You'd think Papadias' decline is likely to signal the end of the road here for Greece, but if they keep winning doubles, Polychroniadis might be able to continue getting it done. As far as I know the record for most consecutive WTC titles is five; Spain won four in a row and six of seven shortly before Greece began this run, so we'll see if they can keep it going. There are no other singles players for them in the Top 150, so once Polychroniadis can no longer lead the way, their time at the top will end.
