United States, one step away from the Malaga Finals

Date:

The United States’ victory over Kazakhstan, 2-0, all but ensures the presence of the Americans in the next Davis Cup Finals in Malaga

the men of Mardy Fish defeated Kazakhstan on the fast track, thanks to the singles victories of Tommy Paul and Taylor Fritzwho did not fail against Mikhail Kukushkin and Alexander Bublik, respectively.

Paul, who is two out of two in this Davis group stage, eliminated the Kazakh veteran 6-1, 6-4 to leave the tie in front. The American picked up 16 winners in which he dismantled the baseline game of Kukushkin, one of the tennis players most committed to Davis, with more than 50 matches played in the competition.

In less than an hour and a half, Paul, world number 29, scored the first point for Fish’s team, and Fritz, who suffered a heavy loss against Cameron Norrie on the first day, took to the track more calm and less. pressure.

The American, who fell after three hours before Norrie, did not disappoint this time, although he had to sweat the fat to defeat Bublik (7-6 (6), 1-6 and 6-3). Fritz saved four set points before scoring the first set in a ‘tie break’, lost the second set resoundingly 6-1 and had to fight back in the third, where he gave his rival no chance.

The United States, with two qualifier wins and a record of four wins and one loss, almost guarantees its presence in Malaga, where they will fight to add another salad bowl to a list of winners who have for 32, although the last conquest dates from 2007.

The other places in the group go to the Netherlands, who defeated Kazakhstan on the first day, and Great Britain, who lost to the Americans.
