By IANS News December 28, 2024 • 19:18 PM View: 817

Billie Jean King Cup: Belinda Bencic and Dominic Stricker defeated Elixane Lechemia and Edouard Roger-Vasselin 6-1, 7-6(4) on Saturday in a deciding mixed doubles clash to lead Switzerland past France 2-1 in Group D action.

The Swiss maintained their chances of progressing to the knock-out stages of the prestigious mixed-gender team competition, after Ugo Humbert defeated Dominic Stricker 6-3, 7-5 to pull France back level after Bencic had opened their campaign with a clinical 6-3, 6-1 win over Chloe Paquet in the women's singles.

In the decider, the Swiss side appeared in cruise control after losing just 12 points in the first set of the mixed doubles but needed to work hard to ultimately prevail in 77 minutes.
