Starting with the Romania - France tie, played in Romania, France is up 2-0 after a neat day of tennis. Richard Gasquet defeated Hanescu straight sets, as the Romanian was more concerned to gather games than win the whole match. Hanescu vas able to push the first set into a tie-break, but there it was obvious that Gasquet is just better (mentally, physically, tactically and also as a matter of skill).
So 1-0 for France, and then the 34 year old Romanian player, Andrei Pavel and the "Davis Cup Rookie" : Jo-Wifred Tsonga gave the audience a good tennis to watch. The match started with both players serving strong, and leading the game on their serve, until they reached the tie-break, where Pavel was pushed a lot by the crowd. 7-6 for Pavel the first set. But then, even tough the quality tennis continued, Tsonga startd hitting harder and harder, and it was enough for Pavel to lose a game on his serve in each of the next 3 sets to lose the match. Pavel played great, but Tsonga was better. 2-0 for France
