Spain did it. After two tough defeats yesterday in the two individual matches and a forgettable first set in the doubles, the Spanish team, led by David Ferrer, found strength from within and worked the miracle of a historic comeback. For the first time, the Spanish Davis Cup team overcame a 0-2 disadvantage and secured a spot in the Davis Cup finals, to be held in November in Bologna, Italy. And they achieved this after Pablo Carreño sealed the tie with a match where he controlled Elmer Moller's cannon shots winning 6-2, 6-3.

After three hours of battle and resistance from Pedro Martínez to extend the tie to the fifth and final point, it was Pablo Carreño's turn. The Asturian not only had the responsibility of closing the tie but also of breaking a curse that had haunted Spain since the inception of the Davis Cup. He faced Elmer Moller who, while surprising Jaume Munar the day before, now faced a more psychological challenge than physical.

At just 22 years old, he had never been in the position to close a tie, especially when his country had squandered a 2-0 lead. This was evident at the beginning of the match; despite using the same tactic as the day before—powerful winners deep on the baseline—the experience and composure of the veteran Pablo Carreño neutralized Moller's cannon shots.

The Asturian came out strong and with a clear plan: keep the balls in until Moller's erratic game broke down. However, this time, the errors prevailed over the winners, and in the blink of an eye, Carreño secured the first set 6-2.

One set away from a comeback that will be etched in Spanish tennis history. But before that, Carreño remained vigilant against Meller's constant aggression, seizing opportunities to take the lead in the second set as the festive atmosphere of victory embraced the stands. After an extremely tense battle with Pedro Martínez against Holger Rune, the Spaniards in the stands at the Puente Romano in Marbella celebrated the imminent qualification to the Davis Cup finals, a success that Pablo Carreño sealed with a serve that sent Spain to Bologna (6-2, 6-3).

After a week that started with last-minute withdrawals of Carlos Alcaraz, Alejandro Davidovich, and Marcel Granollers, the team composed of Jaume Munar, Pedro Martínez, Pablo Carreño, and Roberto Carballés, alongside captain David Ferrer, redeemed themselves after a forgettable Saturday. They resisted Denmark's onslaught and, for the first time in tennis history, Spain overcame a 0-2 deficit to advance to the Davis Cup finals. Off to Italy, Spain goes.
