Nalbandian sends Argentina past Russia in Davis Cup quarters
Tennis Betting Lines
07/11/2010 -
Moscow, Russia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - David Nalbandian gave Argentina a Davis Cup
quarterfinal victory over Russia with a straight-set triumph over Mikhail
Youzhny in Sunday's fifth and decisive singles rubber.
After Nikolay Davydenko kept Russia's hopes alive with a four-set win over
Eduardo Schwank in Sunday's first reverse singles match, Nalbandian notched a
7-6 (7-5), 6-4, 6-3 triumph in the second to put Argentina into the semifinals
with a 3-2 victory in the best-of-five tie.
Argentina will next face France in September. The French clinched their
quarterfinal matchup against two-time defending Davis Cup champion Spain on
Saturday and closed out a 5-0 thumping on Sunday.
After the doubles team of Schwank and Horacio Zeballos gave Argentina a 2-1
lead Saturday, Schwank was given the opportunity to win the clinching point in
Sunday's first match against Davydenko.
The Russian veteran, though, was up to the task and pulled out a 4-6, 6-3,
6-1, 6-4 triumph to set up a winner-take-all match between Nalbandian and
Youzhny in the fifth rubber.
Youzhny and Nalbandian were both winners for their respective nations in
Friday's opening singles matches. Nalbandian beat Davydenko in the first match
on Friday before Youzhny tied it for the Russians in the second with a triumph
over Leonardo Mayer.
On Sunday, Nalbandian kept up his strong play. After winning the first set in
a tiebreaker, he gained the first break of serve in the match for a 5-4 lead
in the second set and held serve to open a 2-0 edge. Youzhny never dented
Nalbandian's serve in the third set and had his own broken twice, giving
Argentina a surprising win.
The Russians hadn't lost a home Davis Cup tie since 1996. Included in that
streak was a victory over Argentina in the 2006 final.
Argentina, which has been a Davis Cup runner-up three times without winning
the title, evened the all-time series against Russia to 3-3. The Argentines
also won the last matchup, at home in the 2008 semifinals, then went on to
lose to Spain in the final.
