The doubles match, crucial for the classification, ended with a score of 7-6 (8), 7-6 (8) in favor of Granollers and Martinez. The young Jakub Mensik, from the Czech team, stood out with 20 aces, but it was not enough to secure the victory. Jaume Munar also played an important role for Spain, winning his first singles match in the Davis Cup against Jiri Lehecka with a score of 6-3, 6-4.

“I had a lot of confidence in my tennis. No matter who is in front, I had a lot of confidence in myself and that’s the main thing.”
