The Spanish team, led by Marcel Granollers and Pedro Mart\u00ednez Portero, defeated the Czech Republic with a score of 2-1.\n\nGranollers and Mart\u00ednez demonstrated their worth in the decisive doubles match, defeating Tomas Machac and Jakub Mensik. This victory was even more significant considering the absence of Carlos Alcaraz, who was forced to withdraw due to an injury.\n\nThe Spanish duo managed to prevail in a closely contested match, with scores of 7-6 (8) and 7-6 (8), at the SuperTennis Arena. The victory of Granollers and Mart\u00ednez sealed Spain&#8217;s triumph, which had not reached the semifinals since their last title in 2019.\n\nOn the road to victory, Jaume Munar also played a crucial role, securing his first Davis Cup singles win by defeating Jiri Lehecka with a score of 6-3 and 6-4.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cI had a lot of confidence in my tennis. It doesn&#8217;t matter who is in front.
