GB take unassailable lead over
Spain after 6-3, 1-6, 6-3 victoryCzech Republic, US or
Germany await GB in ‘city final’Dan Evans shrugged off a desperate second set to sink Spain’s Albert Ramos-Viñolas and steer Great
Britain into the quarter-finals of the United Cup in
Sydney. Evans’s 6-3, 1-6, 6-3 win gave his side an unassailable lead in their Group D matchup following Saturday’s wins for Cameron Norrie – who beat
Rafael Nadal – and Katie Swan in the inaugural mixed-team event.
Evans broke his opponent in his first service game of the deciding set and rallied again after the Spaniard hit back to level the set at 2-2. Ramos-Viñolas saved a match point on his serve at 5-3 but Evans was undaunted and served out the next game to book Britain’s last-eight berth.
