Nadal helps Spain get on the board at Davis Cup Finals

Spain are on the board in the Davis Cup Finals with World No.1 Rafael Nadal helping them to victory over Russia 2-1 in the end.

Marcel Granollers and Feliciano Lopez teamed up in the rubber match as a result to claim a decisive win in the doubles match.

Nadal ended up defeating Karen Khachanov 6-3, 7-6; while Granollers and Lopez defeated a heavily fancied team of Karen Khachanov and Andrey Rublev, who were recently runners-up in the Paris Masters.

The former ended up improving to 25-1 in Davis Cup matches and in the process ended up winning his 25th match on the spin in a record that has stood since 2004.

For the Spanish team they will now have the belief they can get through after defeating the Russian team who have some very in-form players in tow.
