British doubles pair Dan Evans and Neal Skupski edged a white-knuckle duel with France to clinch one of the eight Davis Cup finals berths on Sunday, Sept. 17.

Britain's Daniel Evans leaps into the arms of Britain's Neal Skupski after they beat France's Edouard Roger-Vasselin and France's Nicolas Mahut in their men's doubles tennis match during the Davis Cup finals for Group B between Great Britain and France at the AO Arena in Manchester, northern England, on Sunday, Sept. 17.

In a contest of almost three hours, France came close to sealing their passage and will look back at four failed match points and a series of unforced errors. "First set it wasn't too good. We regrouped, took a toilet and fought as hard as we could. The rest is history and we're off to Malaga." In the opening rubber, Evans fought back from a set down to see off French teenager Arthur Fils 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 and take a 1-0 lead for Britain.
