Edan Leshan of Israel beat South Africa’s Nick Scholtz 6-3, 7-5 in the deciding singles rubber after the teams were level at 2-all.

South Africa will play a relegation match later this year for the right to stay in the group.

Meanwhile, Israel will face the Czech Republic in April as they seek inclusion into the prestigious World Group.
