Ireland's Luke Sorensen was beaten by Finland's Jarko Nieminen this morning to ensure the Finns took outright victory in their Davis Cup tie in Helsinki.
The Fitzwilliam LTC man went down 6-4 6-1 6-0 to give the hosts an unassailable 3-1 lead over Ireland, with just one reverse singles rubber to play.
Ireland's next outing in the Davis Cup is a meeting with the losers of the Algeria Slovenia tie in Dublin in July. (Algeria are currently close to winning that match.)
