Completely fantastic really. Thanks so much to the audience, you really helped, you were wonderful, says Göransson in the post-match interview.

After Friday's matches, it was 1–1 between Sweden and Tunisia in the Davis Cup.

Leo Borg lost to Moez Echargui, and debutant Olle Wallin made a huge comeback against Aziz Ouakaa.

Sweden has started the day with a win in the doubles, and the score is now 2–1 after three matches played.

André Göransson and DC-debutant Erik Grevelius did the job against Moez Echargui and Aziz Ouakaa. The Swedes won 6–4 in the first set and took home the second set on tiebreak – 7–5 (7–3).

I also want to take the opportunity to just thank you all, completely incredible, magical, thanks so much, says Grevelius about the loud audience.

Two singles matches will now conclude the Davis Cup meeting in Partille. If Sweden wins the next match, it's decided. Olle Wallin against Moez Echargui is what's coming up next.

We're going to bike a bit, eat a bit, and then we'll be fully charged on the bench here. We're going to cheer like crazy, says Göransson.

The winner between Sweden and Tunisia will get a spot in next year's Davis Cup qualifying round.
