Great Britain Into Davis Cup Finals as Doubles Pair Finish Off Ecuador
Henry Patten and Neal Skupski sealed a 3-0 win over Ecuador as Britain reached the Davis Cup Final 8 for the first time since 2023.
Great Britain secured a place in the Davis Cup Finals on Sunday, defeating Ecuador at the Copper Box in London with doubles pair Henry Patten and Neal Skupski clinching the tie 6-3, 6-4.
Singles victories on Saturday by Arthur Fery and Toby Samuel established momentum for the team, allowing the doubles pair to seal the series without needing a final rubber.
The team reached their first quarter-final since 2023 under Captain Leon Smith, who said, "We've got a lot of belief, we've got a good group to choose from."
Britain joins defending champion Italy, Canada, Czechia, South Korea, and Austria in the eight-team event scheduled for November in Bologna, Italy.
Injuries to Jack Draper and Cameron Norrie complicate selection for the November 24 tournament, as Smith hopes his available players remain fit during the two months before the finals begin.
