France defeated Japan 2-1 in their first Davis Cup finals tie after victories of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and ATP Finals champions Herbert & Mahut.
It was a quick start for France when Jo-Wilfried Tsonga needed to spend only 58 minutes on the court. He defeated Yasutaka Uchiyama 6-2 and 6-1 and got France an important advantage.
However, Yoshihito Nishioka did not give up and gave Japan hopes again. From being 5-4 down in the first set, he did not lose any more games and won the set 7-5. In the second, he was already better than Monfils to win it 6-2 in just 27 minutes and so doubles needed to decide.
There, ATP Finals champions Herbert & Mahut needed to earn the second point for their country. In last 10 matches, McLachlan and Uchiyama were the first to take a set away from them. But that was not enough. Herbert & Mahut won the second set 6-4 and the third 7-5 to win the match after 2 hours and 43 minutes.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
