Davis Cup: South Korea stuns Belgium to reach group stage

The Hindu  

South Korea captain Park Seung-kyu was left in a state of disbelief after his team overturned a 2-0 deficit to complete a famous 3-2 Davis Cup victory over Belgium on Sunday and reach the group stage of the men’s team tournament. The doubles pair of Nam Ji-sung and Song Ming-kyu began the fightback as they battled past Sander Gille and Joran Vliegen 7-6 7-6 before Kwon Soon-woo levelled the tie at 2-2 by getting past David Goffin 3-6 6-1 6-3. I don’t know if this is real.” Hong, who lost his opening singles match to Goffin after Kwon fell in the first rubber, said he set out to frustrate Bergs, who is ranked more than 120 places above him. After the match point, I thought I showed it.” A busy weekend of ties had 24 nations competing to reach the group stage to be held at four venues from Sept. 12-17, with 12 winners joining 2022 champions Canada, runners-up Australia and wildcards Spain and Italy.
