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.
