Fritz seals USA's win over Kazakhstan in the Davis Cup

Taylor Fritz took on Alexander Bublik in the second match of the USA - Kazakhstan tie in the Davis Cup and he delivered the second point with a 7-6(6) 1-6 6-3 win.

Tommy Paul once again played a great match to win the first point for the US against Mikhail Kukushkin and Taylor Fritz followed that up with a win. The first set was a close one but Bublik was a bit better early having a 5-3 lead but he squandered a 40-15 lead when serving for the set.

In total, Fritz saved three set points overall to force a tiebreak where he proved a bit better taking it 8-6. He could not keep up that momentum in the second set as Bublik unleashed all his fury to take an early break and after that, he simply piled up and smashed Fritz 6-1 to take the second set.
