The first day of the prestigious Davis Cup final between hosts France and Switzerland at the state-of-the-art Stade Pierre Mauroy in Lille, where a crowd of over 27000 was privy to some truly engrossing and memorable tennis action. While such attendance can be called a no-crowd for football matches, the number of tennis enthusiasts, who saw the two singles matches on Friday, broke the record for attendance in an officially sanctioned tennis match. The two nations shared the spoils on the first day with scores level 1-1.
