Australia dominates USA to reach Davis Cup semi-finals

Ebden et Thompson imperturbables

With his back to the wall, Taylor Fritz then confirmed his current superiority over Alex de Minaur. A week after dominating him (5-7, 6-4, 6-3), during the ATP Finals in Turin, the American won, this time more easily (6-3, 6-4), in just over an hour. But the double demonstrated the superiority of the Australians. Unfazed, Matthew Ebden and Jordan Thompson dominated Tommy Paul and Ben Shelton (6-4, 6-4) by saving two break points (one in each set), then jumping on their fourth opportunity to achieve the decisive break, at 4 everywhere in the second round.
