U.S. takes lead
Portland (USA): Even when James Blake was struggling in his Davis Cup match, he knew his teammates were behind him.
Blake fed off their support and held off feisty Mikhail Youzhny 6-3, 7-6(4), 6-7(3), 7-6(3) on Friday to give the United States a 2-0 lead over Russia in the Davis Cup final.
“They’ve believed in me the whole year, so I wanted to prove them right, to be honest,” Blake said.
The marathon match, which Blake called the biggest win of his career so far, lasted 3 hours, 28 minutes.
Roddick threw his hands up in triumph after Tursunov’s final return landed long in the first match.
