This is what Davis Cup is all about. Amazing atmosphere in Malaga with phenomenal shotmaking by both players. Arnaldi saves a break point and holds for 6-5.
Going to distance in Malaga as Van de Zandschulp holds at love for 5-5 in the third. Great start to a fantastic tennis day in Malaga. #DavisCupFinals
Yet another twist in the NED vs ITA tie, with Arnaldi breaking back then holding at love with a screaming forehand passing shot to take a 4-3 lead in the third. Spectacular stuff. #DavisCupFinals
The momentum continues for Van de Zandschulp, as he breaks for a 2-1 lead in the third. Are we heading to yet another marathon tie in Malaga? #DavisCupFinals
Love hold for the Netherlands, who level the match at one set apiece. Incredibly solid by Van de Zandschulp, who adjusted really well, especially on the return. Very important set coming up. #DavisCupFinals
