In Moscow, Russia is up 2-0. But that is mainly because the Russians did not play the "fire match" that we expected. The Australian Open winner, Djokovic did not play today due to a flu-like syndrome, and Tipsarevic had a stomach problem.
That's why today we saw Youzhny playing against Nenad Zimonjic, a match that was won 3-1 by the Russian after losing the first set. Youzhny was not able to concentrate and made a lot of unforced errors during the first set, but then he regained his focus.
On the other side, when Davydenko was set to play against Victor Troicki everybody was sure of a 3-0 win by the Russian. The outcome was a bit more that we expected, but Russia lead 2-0 : 6-1 1-6 6-3 1-6 6-2. It could of been a great tie if Djokovic and Tipsarevic played, but now it's a matter if Russia gets a 5-0 win or not.
