Evans & Skupski's Remarkable Comeback Propels Great Britain to Davis Cup Quarterfinals
ATPSunday, 17 September 2023 at 23:43
Great Britain managed to stay alive in the Davis Cup 2023
Finals, courtesy of saving four match points in the doubles match.
The GB team started the proceeding with full confidence, unbeaten
in this round but suffered some serious blows throughout the last day.
The Great Britain team — who got the better of Australia and
Switzerland ahead of meeting the French team — had to find a way and win the
tie because of the other results.
In the first match of the day, Britain’s Daniel Evans
defeated young Arthur Fils with a score of 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 to strengthen the team’s
position.
In the second fixture, France's Ugo Humbert got the better
of Cameron Norrie with a score of 7-6, 3-6, 7-5.
That result left everything depending on the outcome of the
doubles match between Britain’s duo of Daniel Evans and Neal Skupski, who were up
against Edouard Roger-Vasselin and Nicolas Mahut.
The French pair started brightly and won the first set with
a score of 6-1. Evans and Skupski made a grand comeback in the second and secured
the set on a tiebreak with a score of 7-6.
In the last set, Roger-Vasselin and Mahut were cruising
towards victory but the Britain’s pair had some other ideas as they saved four
match points and eventually came out on top in a tiebreaker with a score of 8-6.

- All the men dropping like flies. Something’s gotta be done with the tournament calendar or many more players will be on the sidelines in the near future. Surprised Carlos is back as soon as he is. Get well soon Sinner, Draper, Fokina, Rune, etc. etc. etc……DaveyWavey25-08-2026
- I want Pegula to surprise as a one-slam wonder winning in New York. She would then jump over the other three ladies for a number one ranking! I’d put my money on the two American girlies, Jessica and Coco to win in New York. Rybakina cannot seem to perform under this kind of pressure and Sabalenka appears in an anger fog ATM.DaveyWavey24-08-2026
- Well said, Andy. I got sick of Nick carrying on and on and on about Sinner. He absolutely refused to look at the facts. Now look at him. Karma is real!!!Rapunzel23-08-2026
- The fact that ANDY RODDICK of all people has become the voice of “reason” is interesting. He’s absolutely correct about Kyrgios too. He’s become a tennis influencer who is a total hypocrite and bully! I agree with RODDICK 100%DaveyWavey23-08-2026
- Great article! Thiem was similar to Del Potro in that both men had won Grand Slams and injured wrists each stole their careers away. Sad really.DaveyWavey22-08-2026
- I’m not quite sure what’s happening with Sabalenka but she is horrible on court when she’s losing (which is a lot lately). If you cannot control your self at all once you start losing matches - especially at 28 - you need to see a therapist or take a break from the sport. Terrible attitude. This is what represents the women’s tennis tour? Yikes!DaveyWavey20-08-2026
- Love Halep’s post! Very pointed yet simple.DaveyWavey20-08-2026
- He’s such a hypocritical douche! I remember when Sinner was out for three months on his ban and Kyrgios made such disparaging comments towards him and how awful he was. He’s such a mess of a human being.DaveyWavey19-08-2026
- Help me understand this. Nick tests positive for cocaine and gets suspended but Marketa gets banned for four years?Rapunzel19-08-2026
