Officials rage as Finns refuse to complete Davis Cup tie

Irish tennis officials were left fuming after Finland refused to play the final match in the Davis Cup tie at the Castleknock Club.

Yesterday’s programme kicked off with Daniel Glancy, the first Mayoman to play Davis Cup for this country, scoring a 6-2 2-6 6-2 win over Micke Kontinen in the first of the two dead singles rubbers.

But then a major verbal set-do developed between Tennis Ireland CEO Des Allen and Finland non-playing captain Kim Tiilkainen on the side of the court.
