Russia Pull Back, Kun On Target Again

Davis Cup – Unfortunate Moment For David/Willy

It took nearly three hours 37 minutes for the entire match to conclude but not so much luck for our pairing of David NALBANDIAN & Guillermo CANAS. Despite taking a 3-1 lead in the fifth set, the Russian pairing of Igor KUNITSYN/Dmitry TURSUNOV rallied back to win the final set 8-6.

The Russian secured comfortable win in the first two sets 6-2 & 6-1 but Argentina pulled back in the next two, winning 7-6 & 8-6. Our lead now is cut to 2-1. This was NALBANDIAN first loss on home soil in the Davis Cup since 2002.

For Day 3, NALBANDIAN is scheduled to play Nikolay DAVYDENKO while Juan Martin DEL POTRO will take on Igor ANDREEV.

Football – Kun Does It Again For Atletico

Atletico Madrid increased their lead at the top of La Liga after a comfortable 4-0 win over Recreativo Huelva. Kun AGUERO opened the scoring the 8th minute. He was left unmarked from Cesar ARZO's free kick and easily nodded home to score his fifth goal in as many games.

In Portugal, Sporting Lisbon secured 2-0 win over Belenenses with Leandro ROMAGNOLI scoring from the penalty spot.

While in the English League One championship, Leeds United defeated Carlisle 2-0 away with Luciano BECCHIO opening the scoring for them.

We still have plenty of action coming from Sunday's fixtures. Will Carlos TEVEZ be the first main to inflicted pain on Chelsea and their Brazilian coach SCOLARI in Stamford Bridge? Will Lionel MESSI silenced the critics with a solid performance when Barcelona travel to Sporting Gijon? Or how abut Mauro ZARATE adding more salt into AC Milan's wound?
