TORRE PACHECO, Spain — Defending champion Spain advanced to the Davis Cup finals by defeating Israel 3-0 yesterday.

Feliciano Lopez and Tommy Robredo beat Jonathan Erlich and Andy Ram 7-6 (6), 6-7 (7), 6-4, 6-2. Spain won all three of its opening matches to secure a place in its seventh final overall.

“To be in the finals two years running is incredible,” Robredo said.

Spain will play the Czech Republic in the December final. The Czech Republic has reached its first Davis Cup final in 29 years, winning its doubles match for a 3-0 win over Croatia.

Radek Stepanek and Tomas Berdych defeated Marin Cilic and Lovro Zovko 6-1, 6-3, 6-4 yesterday to decide the best-of-five series.

With injured Rafael Nadal and Fernando Verdasco cheering them on, Lopez and Robredo won in front of a large crowd at the Torre Pacheco tennis club.

Israel reached the semifinals in March after an emotional victory over Sweden, when Malmo officials didn’t allow spectators against a backdrop of anti-Israel protests.
