France was eliminated in the group stage of the Davis Cup on Thursday in Madrid after their defeat against Serbia after the two singles. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was beaten by Filip Krajinovic (7-5, 7-6 [5]) in the opening and Benoît Paire could not do anything against Novak Djokovic, World No. 2, who beat him dryly. 6-3, 6-3.
