MADRID (Reuters) - It has been a long and gruelling week at the inaugural Davis Cup Finals but Rafael Nadal once again proved that when it comes to staying power and resilience he is peerless as he dragged Spain past Britain into the final on Saturday.

With a gripping tie poised at 1-1 after Nadal beat Dan Evans to cancel out Kyle Edmund's win over Feliciano Lopez, Nadal teamed up with Lopez and played like a man possessed as the Spanish edged two nerve-shredding tiebreaks.
