TENNIS : FRANCE WINS DAVIS CUP !
After tasting three painful defeats in three Davis Cup Finals - - and after 16 years of long, agonizing wait - - France finally clinches its new Davis Cup crown in a series of nail-biting, see-saw rubbers against Belgium.Tweet
France @FFTennis celebrates before a wild crowd of 27,000 cheering inside the Pierre Mauroy stadium @StadePM in Lille @LilleFrance, with millions up and down France and elsewhere around the world, joining in.
"It's a feeling from another world", declares Lucas Pouille @La_Pouille, France's saviour and national hero, following their dramatic win. - - @BBCSport
France last won their Davis Cup Title in 2001 and had lost in the Davis Cup Finals in 2002, 2010 and 2014.
They stared in the face of another daunting defeat, after seasoned Jo-Wilfried Tsonga @Tsonga7, France's No. 1, was stunned by David Goffin @David_Goffin, Belgium's Top Gun and currently World No7, to level the tally 2-2, forcing a decider.
Against the momentum, France's Lucas Pouille @LaPouille came out blazing , and trashed Belgium's Steve Darcis @SteveDarciShark in the decider, 6-3; 6-1; 6-0 to seal France's emphatic victory.
Founded 117 years ago, Davis Cup @DavisCup is considered "The World Cup of Tennis", held annually where men's national teams from around the world, compete.
