BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) Canada set up a remarkable chance to reach its first Davis Cup final by winning the doubles against Serbia and taking a 2-1 lead in Belgrade Arena on Saturday.
Daniel Nestor and Vasek Pospisil beat Nenad Zimonjic and Ilija Bozoljac 6-7 (6), 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (5), 10-8 in an exhausting match that lasted for four and a half hours on the indoor red clay.
"We need one more match, hopefully we can get it," Nestor said. We knew they were going to serve big and we knew they were perfect on break point opportunities. It's really special for us to win in these circumstances."
Canada coach Martin Laurendeau said "it's a moment we've been waiting for a long time."
"We have to be grateful it went all the way tonight," he said. "The weekend isn't over yet, we're facing the world No. 1 tomorrow and this is a very stiff crowd."
