Corretja makes it a 5-0 sweep for Spain
Spain will look forward with complete confidence to a home clash with
Argentina in the semifinals of the Davis Cup by BNP Paribas after completing
a 5-0 victory over Croatia on Sunday.
Albert Costa claimed the fourth point for Spain with a commanding 63 64
success against Ivan Ljubicic, and Alex Corretja made it 5-0 by beating Mario
Ancic 75 63. "Argentina have a very strong team on clay," Spanish captain
Jordi Arrese said. "I think it's going to be tough but we will be playing at
home and that's a huge advantage for us."
In Costa, Corretja, Juan Carlos Ferrero and Carlos Moya Spain have a
formidable clay court line-up and they fulfilled predictions this weekend
with a second successive whitewash win, following their 5-0 victory over
Belgium in the first round.
Corretja and Costa were overlooked for the opening singles on Friday, when
Ferrero beat Ancic and Moya overcame the big-serving Ljubicic, but the two
Catalans clinched the third point against Ljubicic and Lovro Zovko in the
doubles and were back on Sunday to complete the job.
Costa was first up against Ljubicic and the Catalan was quickly into his
stride, taking an early break and consolidating for a 3-0 lead. Ljubicic
served better for the remainder of the set but he could not put any pressure
on Costa, who looks to be back close to the form that took him to the French
Open title last year. Costa went on to take the first set with that solitary
break and the Spaniard went a long way towards completing the win by breaking
his opponent in the opening game of the second set.
The Croatian number one, mixing up aces, service winners and double faults,
went from 30-0 up to break-point down as he fluffed a straightforward
backhand and Costa capitalised with a fizzing crosscourt backhand return.
Ljubicic, disgusted with his own performance, smacked his racket against one
of the net posts and then flung it away. Ljubicic composed himself to force a
break point in the next but Costa saved it and went on to clinch a simple
victory with a crashing forehand winner down the line on the first of three
match points in game 10.
Corretja did not enjoy quite such an easy ride against Ancic, who snatched an
early break and quickly moved into a 5-2 lead. Ancic missed one set point in
game eight, however, and Corretja took advantage of his let-off to win seven
consecutive games to take the first set and move 2-0 ahead in the second.
Corretja was never likely to let slip a 2-0 lead in front of a home crowd on
clay and he duly completed victory to claim the fifth and final point and
another satisfying weekend's work for Spain.
