France to face Switzerland in final

France will host Switzerland in the Davis Cup final in November after Roger Federer gave the Swiss the winning point against Italy in Geneva on Sunday.
Federer reached the first Davis Cup final of his career with a comfortable 6-2, 6-3, 7-6 (7/4) win over Fabio Fognini in the first of the semi-final's reverse singles.
That made it 3-1 for the Swiss thus ensuring they would contest the final of the annual team event for the first time since 1992 when they lost to the United States.
Andreas Seppi edged Michael Lammer 6-4, 1-6, 6-4 in the remaining dead rubber to make the final score 3-2.
France made sure of playing in the final for the first time since 2010 on Saturday when their doubles team of Richard Gasquet and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga defeated Czechs Tomas Berdych and Radek Stepanek in four sets.
The final will be played in France from November 21-23, with the northern city of Lille being touted as the likely host.
The last time the two countries met in a Davis Cup tie was in the 2004 quarter-finals when the Swiss won 3-2 at home.
"The most classical match-ups I've had have come against France so I'm happy," said Federer.
"We've had some great ties here in Switzerland so we're very pleased to be in the finals and we'll see how it's going to go."
"It's nice sharing emotions with your fans and your loved ones. You have to fight with what you've got and I'm happy I was able to make a difference."
