Spain won and moves to the final! Haven't watch a point played, so I have no idea of the quality of the tennis, but certainly the teams were fighting hard when faced with elimination. Everything pretty much went down to the doubles, IIRC.

What an amazing win by Rafa! :clap::clap::clap:

Such a high level! :clap::clap::clap:

Such high intensity on every point! :clap::clap::clap:

And the crowd was louder than the World Cup! :clap::clap::clap:

Tomorrow it's a win-win situation for me with both Rafa & Canada in the final :clap::clap::clap:

:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

The highlights were fantastic! You do have to say that doubles can be a lot of fun to watch. Thanks for that, @Carol

Excerpt:

“Nadal's 29 consecutive Davis Cup wins before the semi-final started was already the most in the competition's 119-year history.

By the end of the tie against Great Britain, the Spanish legend had extended that phenomenal record to 31 straight wins after accounting for Evans in the singles and spearheading Spain's doubles triumph.“


On a side note; just realized, this type of format/setup for DC is basically an all male version of World Team Tennis with different flags. :good:

Nadal's record for Davis Cup is insane. He is playing the whole week like he is 20 years old and he can't have enough of it. He just keeps winning every time he steps on court, singles, doubles, you name it.

That would be Jiri Novak of CZE, when Rafa was 17, '04...his first DC match ever. 3 tight sets, though, TB in 3rd.
Thanks...at 17 he was Raphael..so since he has been Rafa he is still undefeated in DC in singles..that’s remarkable

And thank God there are not 'triples' because he would play too:)

I see RBA will play FAA. Has Felix played at all this week? I didn't notice any matches from him. Rafa to play Shapo.
