US beats Slovakia to join Germany, Spain and Australia in Davis Cup Finals last eight

Associated Press  

ZHUHAI, China — The United States secured its place in the last eight of the Davis Cup Finals after beating Slovakia 3-0 on Friday, a result that also sent unbeaten Germany through from the same group. Spain joined them when four-time Grand Slam champion Carlos Alcaraz beat France’s Ugo Humbert 6-3, 6-3. In Zhuhai, America’s Mackenzie McDonald converted four of his six break points to beat Slovakia’s Lukas Klein 6-4, 6-3, and Davis Cup debutant Brandon Nakashima had eight aces in a 6-3, 6-3 win against Jozef Kovalik. The U.S. also won the doubles: Austin Krajicek and Rajeev Ram, who lost the men’s doubles final at the Paris Olympics last month, rallied to beat Klein and Norbert Gombos 6-7, 7-6, 10-1, winning 15 of the last 16 points.
