BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Belgium and Australia took one point each in two thrilling Davis Cup semi-final matches on Friday, with David Goffin returning from injury to beat John Millman and Nick Kyrgios overpowering Steve Darcis in five sets in Brussels. Seeking their second final in three years, Belgium went ahead with Goffin, the world number 12, coming from a set down to beat Millman, ranked 185, 6-7(4) 6-4 6-3 7-5. Goffin relied on some masterful forehands to win the second set and level the match.
