Bryan twins keep US hopes alive

The United States kept the Davis Cup final alive with victory in Saturday's
doubles rubber, leaving Spain 2-1 ahead going into the final day.
Masters Cup champions Mike and Bob Bryan thrashed Juan Carlos Ferrero and
Tommy Robredo 6-0 6-3 6-2 in front of a partisan crowd in Seville.
Victory would have given Spain the title but they were outclassed.
In Sunday's reverse singles, Carlos Moya takes on Andy Roddick before Rafael
Nadal faces Mardy Fish.
Spain coach Jordi Arrese chose to rest 18-year-old Nadal in the doubles
after his epic singles win over Roddick on Friday.
He was replaced by former world number one Ferrero, but the Spanish pair
were out of their depth against one of the world's best doubles teams.
The 26-year-old Bryan twins have won all four of their Davis Cup matches
this year.
And they quickly silenced the huge crowd at the Olympic Stadium, racing
through the opening set to love.
The Spaniards then twice surrendered breaks of serve at the start of the
second before the Bryans broke to go 5-3 ahead and served out.
When Robredo dropped serve in the opening game of the third set the match
was all but over, and the unflappable Bryan brothers powered on to an
impressive win.
Ferrero, who was upset to be dropped for Friday's singles, hinted at further
dissatisfaction after the defeat.
"It was a difficult game against the best doubles players," he said. "They
have everything calculated and we had very little to do.
"I was a bit surprised that I was named to play the doubles match because
I hardly play doubles."
Arrese said: "Juan Carlos hasn't played at all badly. He played the right
way but the Bryans are great doubles players."
