Australia’s Alex De Minaur and Nick Kyrgios celebrate after winning against Britain’s Jamie Murray and Joe Salisbury.
Kyrgios crushed Cameron Norrie in the opening singles 6-2, 6-2 before Dan Evans came through a memorable showdown against De Minaur 7-6 , 4-6, 7-6 to set up the decisive, winner-takes-all doubles. Jamie Murray and Joe Salisbury had four match points, which were all saved, with Australia finally converting on their fifth match point, sparking jubilant scenes.
Medvedev, also unbeaten, quickly took charge of his showdown with world No 13 Diego Schwartzman, but lost focus in the second and was slapped with a point penalty for twice smashing his racquet into the umpire’s chair during an argument with the official.“The second set and third one was high-class tennis from both sides,” Russian captain Marat Safin said, adding that he was “very proud” of his team.
