BELGIUM BEATS GERMANY

Steve Darcis defeated Alexan-

der Zverev 2-6, 6-4, 6-4, 7-6 (10-8) to send Belgium into the Davis Cup World Group quarterfinals with an unsurmountable 3-1 lead over Germany. With the tie already decided, Ruben Be

melmans beat Mischa Zverev 7-5, 6-1, giving Belgium a 4-1 upset victory — its first against Germany in the ninth attempt in the Davis Cup. Darcis, the Belgian No. 1 in the absence of David

Goffin, rallied after losing the first set of the decisive rubber and held his serve when Zverev, 19, saved three match points in the tiebreaker to win.
