Davis Cup Results

Andy Roddick tied the U.S. with Switzerland after beating Marco Chiudinelli in 3 comfortable sets. James Blake lost the opening match to Stanislas Wawrinka in 4 and the Bryan Bros will take to the court tomorrow to try to give the U.S. a lead. Croatia, Russia and Argentina all won both of their opening matches to take 2-0 leads, while Spain and Serbia's much anticipated matchup was delayed 23 hours due to 55 mph winds that hit Benidorm on Thursday. Weather was ideal for the match on Friday, but the day was used to repair damage inflicted upon the venue.
