After the first day of Davis Cup play, Russia went up 2-0 and found itself clearly in the drivers seat. On Saturday, India played its experienced doubles team of Mahesh Bhupathi and Leander Paes. Bhupathi and Paes were able to give India a lifeline after their straight-set victory over Igor Kunitsyn and Teimuraz Gabashvili.
Looking to close, Mikhail Youzhny was able to shut it down today with his 6-2 6-1 6-3 win over Somdev Devvarman. Russia now advances to play Argentina. If Argentina can get healthy, this could be a problematic matchup for the Russians.
