월드그룹 플레이오프에 출전한 일본은 복식에서 스기타 유이치 (일본)- 이토 료마 (일본) 조가  J · S · 카바루- R · 파라 조에 1-6 2-6 1-6으로 패해 중간전적 1 승 2 패로 벼랑 끝에 몰렸다.

복식에서  스기타 유이치- 이토 료마 조는  힘 한번 못써보고  1 시간 27 분만에 패했다.

우에다 미노루 감독은 "복식에서 완패했다.  기본적인 리턴과 서비스의 정확도에서 차이가 나 결과로 나타났다"라며 " 남은 두 단식에서 승리하겠다"고 말했다. 애초 복식에 니시코리-소에다 복식이 출전할 예정이었지만  스기타 유이치와 이토 료마가 대신 출전하게되었다.

우에다 감독은 "스기타와 이토의 변칙적인 움직임이 상대를 몰아세울 것으로 기대했다. 재미있는 복식이 될 것으로 보았다.  이번 대회는 단식이 핵심이다"고 말했다.

일본은 니시코리와 소에다가 출전하는 두 단식에서 이겨야 월드그룹에 진출한다.
