After the draw took place at the offices of the International Tennis Federation (ITF) in London, the corresponding matches of the Davis Cup Group I and II were determined, among which Peru will face Norway.

After eliminating Ireland, the Peruvian team will once again host the Davis Cup when they face Norway in Group I. The matches will be played on September 15-16 or 16-17.

It is expected that Peruvian tennis player Juan Pablo Varillas will play in this tie against Norway after not participating in the match against Ireland. The 27-year-old Lima native, ranked 97th in the ATP rankings, prioritized his South American tour that started at the Cordoba ATP.

Norway could have Casper Ruud, ranked fourth in the world, who did not play in the loss against Serbia.

The winners of the matches will compete in the qualifying rounds of the 2024 Davis Cup, where they will fight to play in the final phase of the tournament that year.

The other Davis Cup matches

Bosnia-Germany, Bulgaria-Kazakhstan, Belgium-Uzbekistan, Argentina-Lithuania, Ukraine-Colombia, Hungary-Turkey, Israel-Japan, Austria-Portugal, Greece-Slovakia, Romania-Chinese Taipei, and Denmark-Brazil complete the matches of Group I.

Argentina plays this playoff (September 15-17) after losing the opportunity to play in the final phase of the tournament by losing to Finland, while Colombia lost to Great Britain.

In addition, the ITF has also drawn the Group II matches, with the following pairings: Monaco-Ecuador, New Zealand-Thailand, Mexico-China, Pakistan-Indonesia, Uruguay-Egypt, Lebanon-Jamaica, Slovenia-Luxembourg, Georgia-Tunisia, El Salvador-Ireland, Hong Kong-Latvia, and Poland-Barbados.
