\nPARIS:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

France booked their place in the group stages of the Davis Cup after completing a 4-0 win over Taiwan in Taipei on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Already leading 2-0 from Saturday’s singles, France secured their passage when Nicolas Mahut and Edouard Roger-Vasselin came back from a set down to beat Yu Hsiou Hsu and Jason Jung 3-6, 6-2, 7-6 (7\/1).<\/p>\n

“We were perhaps a little timid at the start,” said Roger-Vasselin.<\/p>\n

“We stayed calm. We knew our level of play was going to change. We had to keep our nerve.”<\/p>\n

Quentin Halys rounded off the French victory with a 6-3, 7-6 (7\/3) win over Chun Hsin Tseng.<\/p>\n

Serbia, Netherlands, Finland, Germany, Brazil, USA and holders Canada also qualified over the weekend with another four ties still to be decided.<\/p>\n

Defending champions Italy and last year’s runners-up Australia, as well as Britain and Spain have advanced automatically to the finals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
