Oudin posted a 7-6 (7-3), 6-4 victory over Coin to give the United States a insurmountable 3-0 lead over France in the best-of-five tie. Oudin and Bethanie Mattek-Sands won singles matches Saturday.

France has won just once in 12 all-time meetings with the U.S. in Fed Cup play, with the lone triumph coming at the 2003 final.
