DAVIS CUP - WORLD GROUP - 1ST ROUND - SPAIN VS. EAST CWLAND - LOGRONO, SPAIN All square in Spain A tremendous fightback from Spain's makeshift No. 1 player Sanchez Emelio has allowed the home side to be level at 1-1 after the end of the first day of play in Logrono. As distinct underdogs following the withdrawals of Daniel Páez Blanco and Ion Andueza, the locals needed a big start as Emelio took on World No. 15 Randy Smeltz. They didn't get it as the in form East CWLander dominated a one-sided first set to secure it 6-1. But after a horror start, Emelio began to fight back and with a break in the sixth game of the set advanced to a 4-2 lead. He built on that, and soon was level at a set a piece. He might have gone ahead two sets to one, but from 5-2 and 30-0 he blew it completely as Smeltz crushed a backhand winner to secure a fifth straight game and a 7-5 set. Looking the better player, Smeltz moved to 2-0 in the fourth before a bungled backhand volley went slightly wide to allow the local back into the match. Smeltz approached the net five times in the fourth set for no reward; broken twice as Emelio sent it to a fifth and deciding set. There he proved too good as on the back of a typically parochial Spanish crowd he stormed to a 5-0 lead. Smeltz, whose ranking has risen massively over the past month, was not going down without a fight as he gave Emelio a scare to bring it back to 3-5. It was a bridge too far, though, for Smeltz as he could not produce good enough a comeback as Emelio secured the 1-0 lead 1-6, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4, 6-3.  Sanchez Emelio def.  Randy Smeltz, 1-6, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4, 6-3.With an early upset in the books, Costa do Sauípe champion Sergio Joaquín was after a second as he took on a man in fine form in Jefferson Drake. Whilst it has been a long time between drinks for Drake since appearing on clay, he was immense as he claimed the title in Dubai last week and was an overwhelming favourite to level the tie. In a tough first set filled with uncharacteristic errors from both players, it was Drake who surged ahead with a late break to secure it 6-3 in fifty-eight tough minutes. Despite the early setback, Joaquín was not about to lie down as he started to find his form again following a series of early exits following Brazil. In yet another long set, it was Joaquín who survived eight break points to level the match at a set each. Drake continued to create chances on the Joaquín serve but yet again failed to convert in the third. It took a tiebreaker for him to this time secure a two-sets to one lead in a match that had already gone for three draining hours and twelve minutes. But after so much effort for little reward, Joaquín lost his composure early in the fourth and fell away dramatically as Drake wrapped it up in thirty-two minutes 6-3, 6-7(5), 7-6(5), 6-1 ahead of tomorrow's doubles rubber. Jefferson Drake def. Sergio Joaquín, 6-3, 6-7(5), 7-6(5), 6-1.FRIDAY NEWS

DAVIS CUP - WORLD GROUP - 1ST ROUND - SPAIN VS. EAST CWLAND - LOGRONO, SPAIN Underdogs give home side ascendancy East CWLand have been left with it all to do on Sunday to remain in the World Group after falling down 1-2 after a shock doubles loss to makeshift pairing Marc Carretero & Sanchez Emelio. With Carretero drafted into the doubles pairing at short notice following the injury to Ion Andueza, the World No. 4 team Jefferson Drake & Martti Korpinen would have expected to give their team the lead heading into the reverse singles rubbers. Carretero, 20, has been touted as the next big thing in Spanish tennis, and despite some indifferent early season form did enough to get called into the squad. He did not let the Logrono crowd down as he looked at home early with some impressive work at the back of the court and at the net. In a tight first set, it was the local pair that drew first blood; taking the set 7-5 as Emelio passed Korpinen at the net with a deep backhand drive. It looked like business as usual in the second, though, as the Australian Open finalists started to lift their intensity; breaking serve twice to seal the set in thirty-five minutes. But the clay has not been their speciality, and they quickly fell behind the ball again as Drake's normally dangerous service was countered by some effective returning. Down 2-4, the visitors drew back to 5-5 but were again hamstrung as the Spaniards went ahead two sets to one. With victory in sight, the Spanish lifted their intensity in the fourth and removed any chance of a DR CWLand fightback as Emelio and Carretero soared to a shock 7-5, 2-6, 7-5, 6-3 upset. They need just one win from the reverse singles matches tomorrow which are likely to be Emelio against Drake, and Sergio Joaquín against Randy Smeltz. Marc Carretero & Sanchez Emelio def. Jefferson Drake & Martti Korpinen, 7-5, 2-6, 7-5, 6-3.Quote:

DAVIS CUP - WORLD GROUP - 1ST ROUND - SPAIN VS. EAST CWLAND - LOGRONO, SPAIN Drake dispatches Emelio to keep tie alive Jefferson Drake has earned a measure of revenge for his doubles loss yesterday as he easily accounted for World No. 26 Sanchez Emelio in a must-win contest to keep East CWLand in the first round tie. Just one loss away from returning to the World Group play-offs, Drake was breathing fire early as he thrashed a shellshocked Emelio early with some heavy hitting and high-energy tennis. In a first set which lasted just 36 minutes, Drake landed huge blows with eleven winners to take the set 6-1 to leave the Logrono crowd silent. Emelio began to work his way back into rallies in the second, and started creating chances on the Drake serve. But with five break point opportunities for the set, Emelio failed to covert any and it was the East CWLander who had everything to smile about as he secured a late break to move to two sets to love. Emelio needed something special in the third, but yet again could not secure the much-needed break despite three more opportunities as Drake, with four from eleven of his own chances, levelled the tie at 2-2 with a 6-1, 7-5, 6-4 win to end a fairly successful weekend for him individually. This afternoon, Randy Smeltz looks to avenge his surprising loss on Friday against World No. 39 Sergio Joaquín. Jefferson Drake def. Sanchez Emelio, 6-1, 7-5, 6-4.SUNDAY NEWS

I tell you, I'm gripped. I'm picking that the Roids will be enough to see Smeltz over the line here.
Good to see Drake win. At least one East CWLand player is Roid free. Just don't mention non-performance enhancing drugs... like milk. |

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. SUNDAY NEWS

Well done to the East. It would be churlish to mention that you only won because their best players was injured, so that's what I just did.
