The United States swept Uzbekistan aside with a 4-0 victory to qualify for the Davis Cup Finals group stage on Saturday, while the Ymer brothers guided Sweden to a 3-1 win over Bosnia & Herzegovina.
"I was excited to see Raj and Austin play today. They've practised well all week, they had five great days of preparation and as anticipated they came out really sharp," U.S. captain David Nainkin said.
In Stockholm, Swedish brothers Mikael and Elias Ymer each won their singles rubbers in straight sets but Bosnia clawed one point back in the doubles when Mirza Basic and Tomislav Brkic got them on the board. "I'm super, super proud . It's fantastic that me and my brother and the team could get us through to the finals again. And I'm already looking forward to the finals," Mikael said.
France came back from 2-1 down against Hungary to win 3-2 as Adrian Mannarino and Ugo Humbert turned things around in the second batch of singles rubbers, beating Marton Fucsovics and Fabian Marozsan respectively in straight sets.
