OT - but so deservedly.
Israel beats Sweden 3-2 in Davis Cup

For the first time since 1987, and for just the second time ever, Israel’s national team advanced to the quarterfinals of the Davis Cup on Sunday. …

Levy suggested the decision to close the match to the public backfired on the Swedes because it deprived them of the raucous backing that home teams normally enjoy. …

Maybe they lost this tie from the lack of support from the spectators,” he said. “After all, it affected them more than it affected us. Hopefully it won’t happen again.” …

Levy was hoisted in the air by the jubilant Israeli team after the emotional win, with Sela in tears, and a few dozen special guests celebrating in the stands.
