Iglar vs. Mehul

This one would decide the tie. Mehul stayed with the no. 1 for a tight first set, but lost a one-sided tiebreak and mostly disappeared in the second set. He rallied to win a tight third, but went down a break early in the fourth and couldn't get it back. At this point you have to take your hat off to Antonin Iglar, as frustrating as it is; he's now won four straight against us(two in the WTF, two here) on his worst surface. 7-6(2), 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 is the final count here. It's 3-1, and Girsh will almost certainly win on Friday but that's a moot point now.

The Czech Republic wins it's second straight title and third out of the last four years, while Sri Lanka gets as close as you can without winning for the second time in three seasons. We'll get there eventually, but it might have to wait until Iglar descends to the ranks of mere mortality.
