"I've never seen anything like it live," Ebden said of their comeback victory. "I've seen it on TV back in the day, comebacks when your backs are against the wall. But what Alex did to give us the chance to come out here and fight was incredible. We were inside thinking we're one game away from being out of here and ... winning and going to the semi-finals, we couldn't be more proud. Australia were without Thanasi Kokkinakis, who was forced to withdraw from the Finals with an ankle injury.

"It means a lot for the whole country and for tennis in Finland. Dusan Lajovic crashed to a 6-3 6-2 defeat by Jakub Mensik to leave Serbia in a spot of bother in Valencia. They will be joined by Australia, after last year's runners-up secured a 3-0 win over Switzerland in Group B in Manchester. We knew that we still had to win this match," Ebden said after the duo scored a 6-2 6-4 win over Huesler and Stricker. Nicolas Jarry levelled the Group A tie in Bologna by beating Gabriel Diallo 6-4 6-4 before the deciding doubles rubber.

"I've seen some of those comments Djokovic made and I think that's been the intention of the ITF and the Davis Cup Committee all along, to have consultation with players," Woodforde, the Davis Cup Committee Chair, told Reuters via phone. The ATP is more player oriented, the ITF or Davis Cup is about teams and countries and that's also a priority for the Davis Cup Committee." It's not just the Davis Cup, it affected the tennis world and a lot of sports. We take on board, we've had revisions even over the years since we brought about the change of format." I think the Davis Cup is probably more judged on those days where the host country isn't playing."
