France won the 2001 Davis Cup Final against Australia in Melbourne, defeating the home team 3-2 in a dramatic final, sealed by Nicolas Escudé's victory over Wayne Arthurs after Pat Rafter withdrew with an arm injury. Escudé, who beat Lleyton Hewitt earlier, won the deciding rubber, giving France their ninth title and denying Australia a home win, despite Rafter's opening win and Hewitt's crucial reverse singles victory.
