Villeneuved'Ascq, France, Sept 16 (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 16th Sep, 2018 ) :Albert Ramos won a meaningless point for Spain when he beat France's Richard Gasquet on Sunday in the Davis Cup semifinal in Villeneuve d'Ascq.

France had clinched an unassailable 3-0 lead on Saturday when veteran duo Julien Benneteau and Nicolas Mahut beat Feliciano Lopez and Marcel Granollers in the doubles.

That meant Sunday's reverse singles were played in a curtailed format and, after both players had won one set, Ramos took the match in a super tie-break, 1-6, 6-4 (14-12).

Nicholas Mahut of France faces Marcel Granollers in the final singles.

In the final, France will face either Croatia or the USA who were tied at 2-2 in Zadar after Sam Querrey beat Marin Cilic in Sunday's first singles.
