Spain 2 Switzerland 1
Defending Davis Cup champion Spain gained a 2-1 lead in its first-round tie with Switzerland after Marcel Granollers and Tommy Robredo edged Stanislas Wawrinka and Yves Allegro 7-6(8), 6-2, 4-6, 6-4 Saturday in Logrono.
In a tense encounter, Spain clinched victory by breaking its Swiss opponents in the final game of the match after two hours and 55 minutes. Wawrinka had given the visiting team a 1-0 lead with victory over Nicolas Almagro on Friday, before David Ferrer coolly levelled the tie.
Spain is undefeated in 18 consecutive Davis Cup, and has not lost in 20 consecutive ties played on clay. Spain lifted the Davis Cup trophy for the fourth time last year, defeating Czech Republic 5-0 in Barcelona.
