(Reuters) - Britain qualified for the Davis Cup quarter-finals in bizarre circumstances on Sunday but reigning champions Argentina must wait another day to decide the outcome of their tie against Italy following an afternoon of rain delays in Buenos Aires.

Briton Kyle Edmund was two sets to love up and leading 2-1 in the third in the deciding match when his 17-year-old Canadian opponent Denis Shapovalov tried to blast a ball into the stands in a fit of rage.
