France and the United States breezed into the Davis Cup Finals with dominant wins on Saturday, while Spain survived an attempted comeback from Romania to win their qualifying tie.
France, who were 2-0 up courtesy of Arthur Rinderknech and Adrian Mannarino, faced little resistance from Ecuador as wins for Benjamin Bonzi and the doubles pair of Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicholas Mahut secured victory for the 10-times champions.
Roberto Bautista Agut won his second singles rubber to help Spain, who are without 21-times major winner Rafa Nadal, clinch their tie against Romania and seal a place in the Finals. "I think it was a great day. Marius played some really good points, he was mixing up the game, he was playing aggressive, he was serving well," Bautista Agut said.
Elsewhere, Italy fended off Slovakia to win 3-2, Sweden beat Japan and Kazakhstan got the better of Norway as Alexander Bublik defeated world number eight Casper Ruud 6-4 5-7 6-4.
