- Team now have chance of making Malaga finals
Lleyton Hewitt’s Davis Cup team, built in his own battling image, have fought back from the brink of elimination to keep their hopes well and truly alive with a 2-1 comeback triumph over France in Manchester.
Not for the first time, their last-ditch saviours were Alex de Minaur, who prevailed in his must-win singles against Ugo Humbert, and the doubles maestros Matt Ebden and Max Purcell, who won for the second day running in a crucial final rubber.
