Zverev powers Germany into Davis Cup Final 8 with a swift win over Prizmic,

HALLE, Germany (AP) --- Alexander Zverev sent Germany through to the Davis Cup
Final 8, outclassing Dino Prizmic on Sunday to secure a 3-1 victory over
Croatia.
Zverev took just 77 minutes to ease to a 6-2, 6-4 victory over Prizmic, who was
ranked more than 100 places below the U.S. Open and French Open champion.
Just like in Saturday's victory over Matej Dodig, the second-ranked Zverev
dominated on the indoor hardcourt in Halle, Germany, with Prizmic having no
break-point chances.
Earlier Sunday, Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz overcame Nikola Mektic and Mate
Pavic 7-5, 6-2 to hand Zverev the opportunity to send Germany to the Final 8 in
Bologna, Italy, in November.
Britain also advanced on Sunday, with doubles pair Henry Patten and Neal
Skupski beating Gonzalo Escobar and Diego Hidalgo 6-3, 6-4 to secure a 3-0 win
over Ecuador.
Spain, without Carlos Alcaraz, secured an unassailable 3-0 lead over Chile
after Pedro Martnez and Jaume Munar defeated Toms Barrios Vera and Alejandro
Tabilo 6-0, 6-3.
