Belgium keeps qualification hopes alive by defeating Brazil in a match

Belgium lost to Brazil, but by earning a point in the decisive doubles match, they keep their hopes of qualifying for the finals of the 2024 Davis Cup in Malaga alive. If the Brazilians had managed to win 3-0, they would have been the ones still in contention, but the tight victories of Joao Fonseca over Raphael Collignon (6-3 6-7 6-3) and Thiago Monteiro over Zizou Bergs (4-6 7-6 7-5) were not enough. The experienced pair of Sander Gille and Joran Vliegen managed to seal the match in one of the most tense games of the match, against Rafael Matos and Felipe Meligeni Alves (6-3 3-6 6-4). The Brazilians showed resilience throughout the group stage, but they will have to wait at least until 2025 to see them for the first time in the final stage.
