Belgium won the first tie at the 2019 Davis Cup Finals in Madrid against Colombia when they won both singles matches, but lost in doubles.
It was a quick start for Belgium as Steve Darcis opened the day at Stadium 3 with a quick victory over Santiago Giraldo 6-3 and 6-2.
However, in the second match, Daniel Elahi Galan managed to take set from Goffin, what nobody expected. Goffin lost the first set 3-6, but was able to come back in 2nd and 3rd to add 2nd point to Belgium's account.
But the biggest Colombian weapon was hidden in doubles. World number 1's Juan-Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah faced Sander Gille and Joran Vliegen. Although, Cabal & Farah lost the first set 7-6, they were able to turn the match in another very close sets which they won 6-4 and 7-6.
After winning the second point for Belgium, Goffin said: "The challenge was to fight against myself, it was not easy. Sometimes you have to fight, sometimes you have the flow and you fly. I’m happy the way I fought, I didn’t give up, because that’s the most important thing because I’m playing for my country."

- A healthy Qinwen may be hard to stop next season. She was already scaring her opponents before her medical leave(s). Unfortunately, Zheng insisted on singing again. On the positive side -- Mirra did not sing!! ;~}
mandoist11-10-2026 - Where is it written that athletes, entertainers... People in general... are mandated to keep looking at -- or even using [anti]Social Media? Public & private figures consistently complain and reveal their concerns about negativity and violence thrown at them -- yet they insist on participating. Avoid it, don't use it, don't read it. It's okay to occasionally look up at the World instead beating your eyes & thumbs to death on The Inventions out there.mandoist11-10-2026

- Let's not BS the general public -- Sabalenka started showing cracks in her game last season. Her losses and near-losses started at about the same time she began being distracted by Fame (constant Selfies, making TV commercials, magazine shoots, endless Social Media nonsense, etc., etc.) One would think even Saba could recognize the parallels with others who failed before her -- Raducanu, Giorgi, Bouchard to name a few.mandoist25-09-2026
- Gross!! Hey Raducanu, Giorgi, and Bouchard -- reserve a seat at your Social Media Selfie table for Saba + Naomi. They're heading in your direction soon enough.mandoist24-09-2026
- And then these same players will complain about how lengthy their season’s were and need more time-off. I’m all for more tennis but the amount of tennis we get now is actually kind of crazy! We all need a break, especially the players.DaveyWavey23-09-2026
- You should do a comparison article for "different kinds of justice" the courts decide for tennis players. I can think of at least three players who received very small bans of a few months, however Tara Moore has been fighting for her literal survival the past few years. It seems odd considering she is not a "name" player, unlike the other cases.DaveyWavey22-09-2026
