Carla Surez, with her victory this Saturday before Kurumi Nara (6-1, 6-3), has confirmed the triumph of Spain (3-0) in his qualifying for the Federacin Cup against Japan in Cartagena (Murcia), which gives him the direct ticket for the Final Phase of the competition to be held in Budapest from April 14 to 19 .

The clay and the public of La Manga Club have allied themselves with the team led by Anabel Medina, that last year he achieved the promotion to the World Group before the format was changed in the style of the new Davis Cup, so that Spain sealed his final victory by the fast, after the points achieved on Friday by Surez himself before Misaki Doi (6-3, 6-4) and Sara Sorribes before the number one Japanese, Naomi Osaka (6-0, 6-3).

Against all odds, Osaka did not appear on Saturday's first duel in the Cartagena venue; the former number one of the WTA, very affected on Friday after his defeat against Sorribes, witnessed the game from the stands while Kurumi Nara took the responsibility of avoiding the quick victory in the Spanish tie elimination.

However, the Canary, who this year said goodbye to tennis, did not seem willing to miss the opportunity to sentence the pass to the Finals after 2-0 on Friday, a result that they have never managed to trace back to Spain.

So, soon put a 3-0 that Nara cut with his first break, although Surez, very solid from the bottom of the track, responded with a 'counterbreak' (4-1). After that, he resisted two break balls to finish the rest in 31 minutes.

In the same way, the Spaniard came forward with a new 3-0 in a manga in which the balance was much greater, with both players maintaining their services until the eighth game, where Nara survived two Surez match points. In the third, and with the Spanish, to serve, the pass of Medina to the Final Phase of the competition was confirmed, which premieres format and that will be played in Budapest from April 14 to 19.
