In front of a sellout 13,000 crowd at the AO Arena in Manchester, Dan Evans excels as he leads Great Britain to comeback victories over France in the singles and doubles; Victory in the tie puts Britain through to the last eight in the Davis Cup; It turned into pandemonium! Evans said
A sell-out crowd of 13,000 at the AO Arena, a single-day record for the competition in Britain, also played its part as the home side completed an unbeaten week after earlier successes against Australia and Switzerland."Thanks to every single one of you. It turned into pandemonium.The story of the match
It was immediately clear this was not a comfortable match-up for the 5ft 9in Evans, who struggles to impose his finesse-based game against power hitters, and he was in deep trouble when he was broken for a second successive game at the start of the second set. Norrie, ranked 19 places higher at 17 in the world, turned things around with some gritty play in the second set and for much of the decider looked the better player but he double-faulted to hand a 7-6 3-6 7-5 victory to his delighted opponent.
Roger-Vasselin and Mahut have a combined age of 80 but also a wealth of experience at the very top of the doubles game and they seized control initially.
