Belgium beat Australia and will face France in Davis Cup final

France will face Belgium in the Davis Cup final after contrasting semi-finals that saw the latter rally from 2-1 down to beat Australia on Sunday.

In Brussels, world no 12 David Goffin got the ball rolling for 2015 runners-up Belgium, beating Nick Kyrgios in four sets to set up a fifth-rubber decider between Steve Darcis and Jordan Thompson where Darcis completed the comeback.

Kyrgios had won on all three previous occasions in which he had faced Goffin, and Sunday's match looked to be heading the same way when the Aussie took the opening set on a tie-break.

But Goffin proved he is over his recent injury troubles and maintained his superb singles record in the competition to rally for a 6-7 6-4 6-4 6-4 victory that means it is 15 wins from 16 Davis Cup singles matches for the 26-year-old.

And Darcis had little trouble in racing past Thompson 6-4 7-5 6-2 to seal a return to the final for Johan van Herck's team, who have never won the trophy and were beaten 5-0 by France the last time the teams met in 2001.

This year's final will be in France, and Yannick Noah's team, leading Serbia 2-1 in Lille after Saturday's doubles, got the job done in Sunday's opening rubber, keeping their captain's hopes of a fourth title alive having won twice as captain and once as a player.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, back in the team having initially opted against playing in the tournament this year, gained a second win of the weekend. After a straight-sets win over Laslo Djere on Friday, he needed to come from a set down to beat Serbia's top-ranked player Dusan Lajovic.

In the absence of Novak Djokovic, Janko Tipsarevic and Viktor Troicki, Lajovic was leading the team and having beaten Lucas Pouille on Friday, he took the first set on Sunday before Tsonga fought back for a 2-6 6-2 7-6 6-2 victory that sealed a return to the final on November 24-26.

Nine-time winners France have not won the Davis Cup since 2001 and have been runners-up three times since, most recently in 2014 when they lost to Roger Federer's Switzerland.
