Unbelievable Drama: How Britain and Italy Shocked the World in Davis Cup Thriller
MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Great Britain secured its place in the Davis Cup Final 8 with an exciting 2-1 victory over France on Sunday, while Italy also earned a spot in the quarterfinals.
Dan Evans gave Great Britain a strong start, staging an impressive comeback to defeat Arthur Fils with scores of 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. However, Ugo Humbert of France leveled the match with a hard-fought 7-6 (5), 3-6, 7-5 win over Cameron Norrie
This paved the way for a crucial doubles match, during which Dan Evans and Neal Skupski displayed remarkable resilience, saving four match points to ultimately triumph over Nicolas Mahut and Edouard Roger-Vasselin, with a final score of 1-6, 7-6 (4), 7-6 (6). The match lasted nearly three hours, securing Great Britain’s place in the Final 8.
Great Britain emerged as the leader of Group B, surpassing the already qualified Australia. They are now set to compete in the Final 8, scheduled to take place in the scenic southern Spanish city of Malaga in November.
In Group A, Italy joined defending champion Canada in advancing to the next stage. Matteo Arnaldi secured a crucial victory in the opening match in Bologna, where Italy prevailed over Sweden 2-1. The Italians only needed to secure one win to ensure their advancement ahead of Chile.
In Group C, Bernabe Zapata Miralles and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina celebrated their inaugural Davis Cup victories as Spain overcame South Korea 2-1 in Valencia. The Czech Republic and Serbia had already secured the top two positions in the group.
Meanwhile, the Netherlands suffered a 2-1 defeat in Group D to host Croatia in Split. However, the Dutch had already secured their spot in the next round, along with Finland, which eliminated the United States on Saturday.
