Thanks to its star, Cameron Norrie, who beat Nicolas Mejia This Saturday, Great Britain qualified (3-1) for the group stage of the Davis cup which will be held in September.
Colombian defeat
The British, number 11 in the world, won against Mejía (253) 6-4 and 6-4 in Cota, a neighboring municipality of Bogotá.
Norrie forced the tennis player born in the Colombian capital to make several mistakes. Mejía yelled, raised the crowd by swinging his arms and traded shots to find his opponent’s weak spot, but fell short against the hierarchy of one of the best on the planet.
Norrie had obtained the first point for his country on Friday against Nicolás Barrientos.
Cabal and Farah could not
Dan Evans and Neal Skupski won the doubles game this Saturday against Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah in the Davis Cup tie, giving Great Britain a partial 2-1 lead over Colombia.
The British emerged victorious in the Colombian municipality of Cota with partial 6-4 and 6-4.
The game was even, especially in the second set. Evans and Skupski had two “match points” that they could not take advantage of before taking the game.
It was the first time they made a couple in this competition. Evans played over Joe Salisbury, world number 4 in doubles, by decision of his captain, Leon Smith.
Great Britain thus qualifies for the group stage that will be played from September 12 to 17 against three rivals that have not yet been determined.
