The last time Belgium made it to the Davis Cup was 111 years ago, in its debut year in the world tennis competition, although it ultimately lost there to Britain 4-1.
The November 27-29 final will once again be a face-off between Belgium and Britain, the latter of which on Sunday qualified for the final after defeating Australia, also 3-2.
Scotland's Andy Murray, ranked No. 3 in the world, defeated Australia's Bernard Tomic 7-5, 6-3 and 6-2 in 1 hour and 46 minutes on Sunday, garnering the third and decisive point in the classification that earned Great Britain a spot in the final, which will be held in Belgium.
