Challenge of fitting in 6 ties a day proving almost impossible for organisers. FMTNews DavisCup

MADRID: The Davis Cup Finals schedule was thrown into chaos on Wednesday as, for the second day running, the challenge of fitting in six ties in a day at La Caja Magica proved almost impossible.

Sam Querrey and Jack Sock had to rally from a set down to prevail over Simone Bolelli and Fabio Fognini as the United States defeated Italy 2-1 — though both teams failed to advance.Each tie, played on one of the three courts at the complex, consists of two singles matches followed by a doubles rubber.

Jamie Murray and Neal Skupski then beat Wesley Koolhof and Jean-Julien Rojer 6-4 7-6 but only after saving two set points in the second set. “It’s one of the longest days I’ve had sitting in the chair,” Britain’s captain Leon Smith said. “It’s been another day of incredible drama.”
