Spain, Australia cruise into Davis Cup last eight
MADRID - Hosts Spain made smooth progress into the last eight of the Davis Cup Finals but elsewhere in La Caja Magica on Wednesday it proved a more arduous day for players, organizers and fans.
Defeat ended a miserable few days for reigning champions Croatia who without talisman Marin Cilic depart with two losses. Three-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray returned to Davis Cup action for the first time since 2016 but almost came unstuck against 179th-ranked Dutchman Tallon Griekspoor, clawing back a 1-4 deficit in the deciding set to win 6-7 6-4 7-6.
Britain will face Kazakhstan on Thursday with the winners moving through to the quarter-finals. Captain Leon Smith may rest Murray and might even need a breather himself. Tuesday’s action had wrapped up at almost 2am with Spain’s opening win over Russia and Wednesday was threatening to become a late, late show with Italy’s clash against the U.S. to decide the runners-up in Group F also starting two hours late after Germany’s 3-0 Group C defeat of Argentina over-ran.
