THE MODERATOR: Cris, we'll ask you in instead. Just talk about the team victory tonight, please.

CRISTIAN GARIN: Yeah, we're very happy, very proud about the series that we had today. We were looking for this for a long time. I think it's the first time that we won a tie.

So Alejandro, he played unbelievable. The first match was amazing. Phillip also played at a great level and was by my side. It was also a pretty tough match. The first set was so long. I think one of the longest that I've ever played.

And, yeah, I'm just so happy. The guys, they played amazing, the doubles also. They were a bit tight in the tiebreak, but, yeah, we are so happy that we got our first win.

Q. How excited were you with all the pressure and the fans chanting for Chile to come through?

ALEJANDRO TABILO: It was pretty exciting, all the fans still watching us pretty late it was nice and gave us some extra motivation. It was a tight, tight doubles. So we're happy we were able to get the win and especially the tie. So just happy in how we played.

Q. Tomas, how special is the moment when you jumped into Alejandro's arms at the end of the match?

TOMAS BARRIOS VERA: We're so happy and so, so proud. Alejandro and Cristian played very, very well and also Jorge, so excited.
