\nPARIS: Australia took the deciding doubles rubber to beat France 2-1 in the Davis Cup group stage in Hamburg on Thursday, while the US saw off Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n
\nIn the second tie in the four-team Group C for both nations, Richard Gasquet gave France the lead when he beat Jason Kubler 6-4, 6-2 in the opening singles.<\/p>\n
\nAlex de Minuar leveled for Australia, beating Benjamin Bonzi 6-3, 1-6, 6-4, before Max Purcell and Matthew Edben won the deciding rubber 6-4, 6-4 against Nicolas Mahut and Arthur Rinderknech.<\/p>\n
\nAustralia top the group with two wins out of two, though hosts Germany can draw level if they beat Belgium. France have lost both their ties.<\/p>\n
\nThe Americans did not allow a late finish to their opening tie against Britain in the early hours of Thursday morning affect them against Kazakhstan in Group D.<\/p>\n
\nTommy Paul thrashed Mikhail Kukushkin 6-1, 6-4 in Glasgow to put the US ahead, before Taylor Fritz clinched their second straight win by edging a dramatic contest with Alexander Bublik.<\/p>\n
\nThe world No. 12 saved four set points in the first set en route to a 7-6 (8\/6), 1-6, 6-3 victory.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cLast night was a tough one, and after getting that win it was important to build on that and hopefully not be here again at 1am,\u201d Fritz told daviscupfinals.com.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cAny time I play Alex is really tough. He\u2019s just awkward to play against.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI rebounded in the third, changed my strategy a bit, and got the win.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nBublik and Aleksandr Nedovyesov gave the Kazakhs a consolation doubles success by beating Rajeev Ram and Jack Sock, whose late-night triumph had downed Britain, 6-2, 7-6 (8\/6).<\/p>\n
\nElsewhere, Serbia bounced back from their opening loss to Spain in Group B by beating South Korea, with wins for Dusan Lajovic and Miomir Kecmanovic giving them an unassailable 2-0 lead ahead of the doubles in Valencia.<\/p>\n
\nNam Ji-sung and Song Min-kyu cruised past Nikola Cacic and Filip Krajinovic in the doubles to give the Koreans a match win.<\/p>\n
\nLajovic played the opening singles rubber having played the doubles against Spain the previous day, also not finishing until gone midnight.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIt definitely wasn\u2019t easy. We didn\u2019t know who was going to play the singles,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI went to bed at 4am. I didn\u2019t sleep well.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nCroatia also managed to put a defeat behind them with a tense success against Sweden.<\/p>\n
\nEilas Ymer beat Borna Gojo in straight sets to put Sweden, who beat Argentina in the first Group A tie, ahead.<\/p>\n
\nBut Cincinnati Masters champion Borna Coric beat Elias\u2019 brother Mikael Ymer in three sets and Nikola Mektic and Mate Pavic completed the comeback by seeing off the Ymers 7-5, 6-3.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
