Mexico move in front with doubles victory in Sofia
Mexico have turned the tables on Bulgaria in their Davis Cup by Rakuten World Group II tie in Sofia, moving 2-1 in front after Hans Hach and Miguel-Angel Reyes-Varela edged past Gabriel Donev and Alexandar Lazarov 6-4 6-4.
A break at the start of the first set and the end of the second proved decisive for the Mexicans, who are now one win away from victory in this first meeting between the sides and a step closer to the 2022 World Group I Play-Offs.
Mexico s No. 1 Gerardo Lopez Villasenor will take on Dimitar Kuzmanov - who has remained with the Bulgaria team a day after the passing of his father, Savko - with the hosts desperate to take the tie to a decisive fifth match, where Adrian Andreev is slated to face Luis Patino.
