• Kokkinakis beats Jakub Mensik as Australia win second tie
• Team on track to make final-eight tournament in November

Australia's men are on the verge of another crack at Davis Cup finals glory after winning their second group-stage tie in just three days with a 3-0 whitewash of an ailing Czechia outfit in Valencia.

Lleyton Hewitt's team, runners-up for the last two years, are now odds on to make the final-eight week in Malaga in November after following up their 2-1 win over France with a much easier outing against the injury and illness-hit Czechs on Thursday.
