JAMAICA SECURED their place in Group II of the Davis Cup with a 3-2 win over Estonia at the Eric Bell National Tennis Centre yesterday.
Jamaica’s number one seed, Blaise Bicknell, consolidated Jamaica’s place in Group II for the first time in 25 years after victory by default over Kristjan Tamm in the first of two reverse singles.
Bicknell, who broke Tamm early in the first set but quickly returned the set to on serve after three double faults, made few mistakes on his serve to stay in the game right up until 6-6.
The tie-breaker started much the same way as the early part of the set, with Bicknell earning two mini-breaks to lead 3-0.
Tamm would not go away, though, breaking back twice to leave the tie-break poised on a knife’s edge at 3-3.
