It is the last match of two in the group stage and the group winner is guaranteed to advance to the quarterfinals.
In addition, the two best runners-up from six groups advance and since Sweden won 3-0 against Canada, without losing a set, the situation is favorable.
A narrow loss against Kazakhstan still provides good opportunities to continue playing.
The Kazakhs meet Canada only on Sunday and make their first match against Sweden.
- It can be an advantage that we played a match.
The first match in each competition is quite tough, then you are in it, play on the surface, have the confidence to have won a match, it usually helps, says Robin Söderling.
"Player for player, it's 50-50"
Kazakhstan's best player Alexander Bublik is ranked 36th in the world, against Sweden's Mikael Ymers 93rd.
As a team, Kazakhstan is ranked 12th, Sweden as 14th.
- It's a pretty open match.
If you look player by player, it is maybe 50-50.
What would a promotion to the quarterfinals mean?
- It would be huge and much needed for Swedish tennis.
But it would not be a bang.
I already thought when I saw the draw that the first goal will be the quarterfinals, it is reasonable.
And now we have a very good chance to move on, says Söderling.
