Agwi looking to enjoy Davis Cup play-offs

Agwi was born in Dublin to a Nigerian father and a Ukrainian mother before moving to Berlin a few years later. He started playing under the Irish flag towards the end of his junior years.

Third time lucky? Not for Michael Agwi, it wasn’t. The Dublin-born, Berlin-based player will be hoping that his fourth crack at Davis Cup tennis with Ireland, against Austria in Limerick this weekend, proves smoother than his experiences so far.

Agwi travelled to Barbados in September of 2022 as a non-playing reserve, injury kept him out of the tie against El Salvador last September, and a dodgy tummy left him less than primed for a singles tie over in Peru this time last year.
