( CNN ) -- France have secured their place in the Davis Cup final after taking an unassailable 3-0 lead in their semi-final against Argentina in Lyon on Saturday . The win came courtesy of Michael Llodra and Arnaud Clement who defeated U.S. Open semi-finalists Horacio Zeballos and Eduardo Schwank 6-4 7-5 6-3 in two hours and 28 minutes . France were 2-0 ahead overnight thanks to singles wins by Llodra who defeated Juan Monaco , and by Gael Monfils overcame David Nalbandian in four sets . The nine-time winners have n't been in a Davis Cup final since 2002 . `` I am very excited and I am very , very happy because the crowd was unbelievable , '' France 's team captain Guy Forget said , DavisCup.com reported . `` The emotions are here , the spirit is here , the quality of the players is unbelievable . I am so proud to lead a team like this one . They have gone through a lot of things together ... They struggled a bit last year but to see them on the court celebrating emotionally is very strong , '' Forget added , DavisCup.com reported . But Argentina 's captain Tito Vasquez was stunned by the defeat . `` I never thought the result would be so bad . We always thought we could win it , '' Vasquez said , AFP reported . France will face either last year 's runners-up Czech Republic or Serbia -- who have yet to reach a Davis Cup final -- in December 's final . The Czechs are 2-1 ahead after Tomas Berdych and Radek Stepanek defeated U.S. Open runner-up Novak Djokovic and partner Nenad Zimonjic 3-6 6-1 6-4 6-1 . But there is all to play for on Sunday . Djokovic is favorite to beat Berdych in the first reverse singles . Should that match go to form then the tie will be decided by the match between Stepanek and Janko Tipsarevic -- who on paper are separated by just two ranking places .
France are through to December 's Davis Cup final after beating Argentina . Llodra and Clement defeat Zeballos and Schwank in four sets to take 3-0 lead in tie . Nine-time winners will face Czech Republic or Serbia who play to a finish Sunday .
