DAVIS CUP - WORLD GROUP - 1ST ROUND - SPAIN VS. EAST CWLAND - LOGRONO, SPAIN
Smeltz seals comeback

Randy Smeltz has secured East CWLand's place in the quarter finals of the Davis Cup after thumping Spanish No. 3 Sergio Joaquín in straight sets. After a surprise loss on Friday to Sanchez Emelio, the pressure was all on Smeltz to hit back with a victory to keep his nation's Davis Cup hopes alive. In a tense start, Smeltz failed to covert any of his four break points as Joaquín struggled to stay in the set. He relied primarily on some rare unforced errors from Smeltz to hold his way to 5-5 before he framed a backhand about three feet long to give the World No. 15 the first break of service. That break opened the floodgates as the DR CWLander destroyed Joaquín by claiming fourteen of the last fifteen games in a dominant display. Joaquín, who looked so impressive in the first round, barely gave himself a chance of taking a game off the Easterner's serve as Smeltz tightened up his game considerably and surged to a dominant 7-5, 6-0, 6-1 win.

East CWLand now play their quarter final against Austria on July 9-11 after the Austrians completed a 4-1 drubbing of Great Britain. The Brits offered nothing on their home courts, and only took a consolation point after Sebastian Moss defeated Martin Reiter 2-6, 6-4, 6-3.
