In an exciting day of the Davis Cup, Spain achieved a spectacular comeback to secure their place in the semifinals, defeating the Czech Republic with a score of 2-1.
The duo formed by Marcel Granollers and Pedro Martínez Portero became the key to the Spanish triumph, prevailing in the decisive doubles match against Tomas Machac and Jakub Mensik.
The absence of Carlos Alcaraz, who withdrew from the team due to a hamstring injury, was not an impediment to Spain demonstrating its strength and determination.
Granollers and Martínez Portero shone on the court, securing the victory with a score of 7-6 (8), 7-6 (8) at the SuperTennis Arena. This triumph allows Spain to advance to the semifinals, a stage they hadn’t reached since their victory in 2019, when they won their sixth Davis Cup title.
