STUTTGART, Germany (AP) — France completed a 4-1 victory over Germany in their Davis Cup quarterfinal by splitting Sunday’s reverse singles.

France was already assured of a place in the semifinals after winning Saturday’s doubles for an unassailable 3-0 lead.

Philipp Petzschner earned Germany’s only point by beating Michael Llodra 6-3, 6-4, before Jo-Wilfried Tsonga beat Philipp Kohlschreiber 7-6 (3), 7-6 (5) in the final match.

Both reverse singles were reduced to best-of-three sets.
