United States, the country with the most Davis Cup titles (32), will not be in the finals in November in Bologna after letting a 2-1 lead slip away in a crazy day against Czech Republic. After Austin Krajicek and Rajeev Ram put the Americans just one point away from clinching the tie, having defeated Tomas Machac and Jakub Mensik (7-6(8), 5-7, 6-4), everything achieved was thrown away in the singles matches. First, Taylor Fritz couldn't overcome Jiri Lehecka (6-4, 3-6, 6-4) and in the final match Jakub Mensik defeated Frances Tiafoe with scores of 6-1 and 6-4. This way, Czech Republic secures a spot among the top eight while the United States confirms its collapse playing at home.
