Germany complete a remarkable comeback to beat Argentina in a thrilling doubles decider and set up a Davis Cup semi-final against Spain.

Spain, which hadn't reached the semifinals since it won the last of its six Davis Cup titles in 2019, will next face No. 2-seeded Germany, which defeated Argentina 2-1. Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz outlasted Andres Molteni and Horacio Zeballos in a third-set tiebreaker in the deciding doubles match to give Germany the quarterfinal victory.

Spain will run a smaller budget deficit than Germany for the first time in almost two decades next year in a reversal of the two countries’ fiscal fortunes. Europe’s fourth-largest economy, once a major casualty of the Eurozone crisis, has trimmed its deficit after years of robust growth and higher tax revenues.
