Italy first to reach Davis Cup quarters

Italy became the first team to book their spot in the quarter-finals of the Davis Cup after beating Colombia 2-0 thanks to wins from Lorenzo Sonego and Jannick Sinner in Turin.

Sonego beat Nicolas Mejia 6-7, 6-4, 6-2, and Sinner followed up with a 7-5, 6-0 win over Daniel Elahi Galan.

Elsewhere, Daniil Medvedev helped Russia beat Ecuador, setting up a clash with Spain to decide who will go through as group winners.

Medvedev easily beat Emilio Gómez 6-0, 6-2 after breaking his serve five times.

“I wanted to keep it clean from the first to the last point of the match and I am happy to bring the point to the team,” Medvedev said.

Andrey Rublev had earlier beaten Roberto Quiroz 6-3, 4-6, 6-1 win.

Rublev then helped Aslan Karatsev win the doubles 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 over Gonzalo Escobar and Diego Hidalgo.

Kazakhstan beat Sweden 2-1 with doubles pair Andrey Golubev and Aleksandr Nedovyesov taking the match after Swede Elias Ymer and Kazakh Alexander Bublik won the singles.
