Last Nail Not Yet in Belgium's Coffin, Says Goffin

GHENT, Belgium — David Goffin believes Belgium can still win the Davis Cup for the first time even though the hosts will go into Sunday's final day against Britain needing to win both remaining singles.

The 24-year-old teamed up with doubles partner Steve Darcis on Saturday, losing to Andy and Jamie Murray in four sets to leave Belgium trailing 2-1.

Unless Goffin beats world number two Andy Murray in Sunday's opening singles the tie will be over, and few outside Belgium's most optimistic fans fancy his chances.

"I'm still confident," Goffin told reporters. "I'm feeling good with my groundstrokes and everything is okay for tomorrow.
