TENNIS: SPAIN SECURES DAVIS CUP 2010 VICTORY OVER SWITZERLAND

DAVID FERRER (pictured) guaranteed SPAIN its DAVIS CUP victory over SWITZERLAND after defeating Stanislav Wawrainka 6-2, 6-4, 6-0 in a vital 4ºth game taking the overall score to 3-1 in Spain´s favour. This takes Spain onto the Quarter Finals were they will meet France on the 9-11 July.

The tie against Switzerland complicated itself for the current Davis Cup holders when Wawrinka won last Friday the first match against Almagro. David Ferrer then won the 2º game for Spain & with the Doubles on Saturday going Spain´s way as well. The 4ºth game victory was vital as it avoided a draw result & the need to play it all in the last 5ºth match.

Todays defeat over Switzerland takes Spain on & break the straight wins on home "soil" record previously held by USA with 18 ties. Spain now accumulates a 19 straight victory streak on home turf. Tweet
