Davis Cup: Australia through to semis after win over USA

Nick Kyrgios secured Australia’s Davis Cup quarter-final victory over the United States by beating Sam Querrey.

With Australia 2-1 up going into the final day, Kyrgios won 7-6 (7-4) 6-3 6-4 to give the hosts an unassailable lead in Brisbane.

USA’s John Isner beat Sam Groth 7-6 (7-5) 6-3 in the concluding dead rubber to leave the final scoreline 3-2.

Australia, captained by Lleyton Hewitt, will play either Belgium or Italy in the semi-finals.

Italy won Saturday’s doubles rubber in Charleroi to take the contest into a final day but five-time winners Spain could not do likewise in Serbia.

Nenad Zimonjic and Viktor Troicki beat Pablo Carreno Busta and Marc Lopez 4-6 7-6 (4) 6-0 4-6 6-2 in the doubles to set up a semi-final with France.

The French hold an unassailable 3-0 lead over Great Britain after Jamie Murray and Dom Inglot lost in the doubles in Rouen to Nicolas Mahut and Julien Benneteau.
