As group leaders, Australia were also due to play in the final but were unable to following Molik's injury, thus Slovakia was promoted to the final against the United States.[4][5]

In the final, after losing the two singles matches, Argentina conceded victory to Slovakia in the mixed doubles dead rubber as a walkover.[6][7]
4 German Nicolas Kiefer was forced to retire in the men's singles versus Slovakia and was unable to compete in the mixed doubles, thus conceding both points to the Slovaks.
