PARIS — Britain was defaulted into the Davis Cup quarter-finals Sunday while Spain edged Croatia to advance and defending champion Argentina battled Italy into a decisive fifth match at a rain-hit tie. "No one is nicer or carries themselves better for a 17 y/o than Shapovalov," Canadian teammate Vasek Pospisil tweeted. Roberto Bautista Agut had earlier fought off a spirited challenge from Franko Skugor, winning 6-1, 6-7 (4-7), 6-3, 7-6 (8/6) to level the contest. Argentina’s Guido Pella and Italy’s Andreas Seppi will meet in the decisive singles match starting Monday at 1400 GMT. Darcis, who famously dumped Nadal out of Wimbledon in 2013, dropped the first set to 19-year-old Zverev before rallying for a 2-6, 6-4, 6-4, 7-6 (10/8) win to hand Belgium an unbeatable 3-1 lead.
