New Zealand has secured its Davis Cup world group II tie against Georgia, with James Watt clinching the winning point in the fourth rubber in Palmerston North yesterday.
Watt defeated Aleksandre Bakshi 7-6(3), 6-2 to give New Zealand a 3-1 victory, following earlier victories in singles and doubles across the weekend.
Earlier yesterday, Ajeet Rai and Finn Reynolds won an epic match against Bakshi and Alexandre Metreveli 5-7, 6-2, 7-6(4).
The result means New Zealand will advance to a world group I playoff next year, while Georgia will head to a world group II playoff. — Allied Media
