Niland and King inspire Ireland to great escape
Garry Cahill’s troops looked to be very much on the ropes when James Cluskey and Conor Niland came short in the doubles contest against Tunisia on Saturday.
The 6-4 7-6 (7/5) 7-6 (7/5) win secured by Anis Ghorbel and Malek Jaziri powered the North Africans into a 2-1 lead in the five match tie, leaving Ireland having to win both of yesterday’s two reverse singles to avoid dropping down to Group Three of the Europe-Africa Zone for the first time since 2007.
