In the doubles, Siim Troost and Johannes Seeman were beaten in two sets by Sergei Fomin and Humoyun Sultanov in a match which lasted about an hour.

Sultanov, ranked 236th in the world for singles, had a brief, 45-minute respite before facing Estonia's top player, Mark Lajal (ATP 224), in the next match, this time a singles affair.

To keep Estonia's hopes alive, Lajal needed to win, but it was not to be as he was defeated by Sultanov 6:4, 6:1, in a match which lasted 75 minutes.

This means Uzbekistan secured the overall victory and will advance to the World Group I play-offs, while Estonia will compete in the World Group II play-offs next year alongside the other 11 losing teams.
