The German tennis men have moved up to second place in the Davis Cup national rankings.
This emerges from the new ranking that the world association ITF published after the end of the competition.
First is Italy, which was able to triumph in the prestigious team competition for the third time in a row even without top star Jannik Sinner.
Spain, Australia and Belgium follow Germany.
The selection of the German Tennis Federation (DTB) around Alexander Zverev failed in the semi-finals against Spain in Bologna and is still waiting for its first title coup since 1993.
