Cash seals Australian Davis Cup win over Sweden

Pat Cash, 21, delivered three decisive wins on grass to lift Australia to a 3-2 victory over Sweden in Melbourne. He defeated Stefan Edberg in singles, teamed with John Fitzgerald for a doubles win, and staged a remarkable comeback against Mikael Pernfors in five sets to clinch the cup. Pernfors, a two-time NCAA champion, impressed early but faded as Cash's serve and volley dominance prevailed. Australia repeated its 1982 triumph at the same venue, with captain Neale Fraser hailing Cash's performance as defined by resilience.
