Standing on the court first, Kyle Edmund and Feliciano Lopez fought for the first point of the Saturday's evening. The player representing Great Britain started the match with 7 straight points what guaranteed him an important lead.

Lopez was not able to chase Edmund later in the first set and Edmund won it 6-3. However, in the second set, Lopez had 2 break points which also meant set points. But the Spaniard was not able to use them and so tie-break needed to decide. There, Edmund was better again and won it 7-3 to earn the first point for Great Britain.

World number one Rafael Nadal was there to save the day for Spain. First he played Daniel Evans in singles. He had a slower start as he was not able to break Evans for some time. But since 4-4 in the first set, Nadal did not lose a single game and won the match 6-4 and 6-0.

As the score showed 1-1 after 2 matches, doubles needed to decide. Jamier Murray paired up with Neal Skupski to face Rafael Nadal and Felician Lopez. The first set needed to be decided in a tie-break where Spanish duo won 7-3. In the second set, Skupski & Murray had 2 break points, but did not use any and so tie-break had to decide again. There, Spaniards were successful again to win the second point for Spain and move them to final.
