Davis Cup: France secure doubles to trail 2-1 against Croatia
France kept their Davis Cup final hopes alive as Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut defeat Croatian pair Ivan Dodig and Mate Pavic.
After losing both of Friday's singles, Yannick Noah's champions were 2-0 down. But French Open doubles champions Herbert and Mahut staged the fightback, reducing the deficit to 2-1 and ensuring the last Davis Cup in its present guise will stretch into Sunday.
A win for Croatia would give them their second Davis Cup success in the final staging of the historic team competition before the format changes next season.
