LILLE, France (Reuters) - France won a place in the Davis Cup final when Jo-Wilfried Tsonga beat Dusan Lajovic 2-6 6-2 7-6(5) 6-2 to give the hosts an unassailable 3-1 lead over Serbia on Sunday. "It was an exciting tie and the mindset was perfect," said France team captain Yannick Noah. Tsonga kept misfiring and he dropped serve again in the seventh game with Lajovic bagging the first set easily. Lajovic, however, was a little shaky in the second set and handed Tsonga a break when he double faulted. Lajovic ran out of steam in the final set and Tsonga broke twice to send the home team through.
