NORWAY 1-3 KAZAKHSTAN
Kazakhstan once again proved themselves a
wily Davis Cup outfit as Alexander Bublik's
victory over Casper Ruud – his second singles
win of the tie – sealed his nation's place at the
Finals for the third consecutive season.
That's a win for the country and that's
what we're here to do. It means a lot to
our country and being in the Finals for the
third consecutive time means we are a
consistent team.

USA 4-0 COLOMBIA
It proved a perfect week for USA who dispatched
Colombia to reach the Finals. It was a victory sealed
by Rajeev Ram and Jack Sock (both pictured)
but one which also included debut success for
Sebastian Korda. Korda's father, Petr, enjoyed
a long and distinguished Davis Cup career.
My dad played quite a bit of Davis Cup
and, now, getting the opportunity myself,
representing USA, is kind of cool. Hopefully
I can represent USA for many years to come.

FRANCE 4-0 ECUADOR
France booked their place at the Finals
with a commanding victory over Ecuador,
which included singles victories for Arthur
Rinderknech, Adrian Mannarino and debutant
Benjamin Bonzi and doubles success for the
ever-reliable Pierre-Hugues Herbert and
Nicolas Mahut.
It's never easy to play a team where you
are the favourite, but we respected our
opponents a lot and that's why we managed
to win. It's special for us because it's been a
few years now that we couldn't play in these
conditions. Through smiles, we embraced the
atmosphere and we enjoyed this crowd.
