Spain cruised to a 3-0 win over Serbia in the Davis Cup Finals to move to the top of its group despite being with Carlos Alcaraz. The top-ranked Alcaraz had arrived in Valencia the previous day but skipped the opening round three days after the Spanish teenager won the U.S. Open. Andy Murray had a disappointing return to Davis Cup action as the United States won a tight contest against Britain 2-1. A home crowd helped propel Germany to its first win over France since 1938. Germany won 2-1 and Italy beat top-ranked Croatia 3-0.
