US advances to Davis Cup quarters with 3-0 win over Switzerland
(AP) — Jack Sock and Steve Johnson won their doubles match in three sets Saturday, sending the United States to the Davis Cup quarterfinals with a 3-0 victory over Switzerland.
Sock and Johnson, bronze medalists in men’s doubles at the Rio Olympics, beat Henri Laaksonen and Adrien Bossel 7-6 (3), 6-3, 7-6 (5).
Switzerland was without the country’s two best players this weekend: 18-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer and three-time major champ Stan Wawrinka.
Sock is scheduled to play Laaksonen and John Isner is slated to face Marco Chiudinelli in pairings of each country’s No. 1 and No. 2 players.
