Russia Knocks Spain Out of Davis Cup Finals

Defending champions Spain were knocked out of the Davis Cup Finals after the Russian Tennis Federation clinched a dramatic late-night win in Madrid.

Spanish pair Feliciano Lopez and Marcel Granollers lost 4-6 6-2 6-4 to Andrey Rublev and Aslan Karatsev.

The Russians, competing under the name of their federation after the nation was banned from international competition for doping violations, are led by top-five ranked players Daniil Medvedev and Rublev.
