Spain Completes 5-0 Victory Over Belgium
Spain showed no mercy to Belgium on the final day of their first-round Davis
Cup by BNP Paribas tie on Sunday, with Juan Carlos Ferrero blasting past
Kristof Vliegen 6-1 6-4 and Carlos Moya seeing off Christophe Rochus with a
quicksmart 6-2 6-2.
Those comfortable singles wins completed a predictable 5-0 victory for Spain,
who possess what is without doubt the strongest clay-court line-up in the
world.
Ferrero kicked off the proceedings on Friday with an equally effective 6-3 6-2
7-5 victory over Christophe Rochus, who was surprisingly chosen ahead of his
brother Olivier for the opening day’s singles. Moya then claimed a second
straight-sets win over the Belgian number one Xavier Malisse 7-6 6-1 7-6 to
make it 2-0.
Belgium’s best chance of gaining a point was in the doubles but despite a
valiant struggle from Olivier Rochus and Vliegen the Spanish pairing of Alex
Corretja and Albert Costa secured victory in a five-set thriller 6-4 4-6 6-3
3-6 8-6. That left the visitors playing for pride on Sunday, but Vliegen and
Rochus could find no answer to the pace and precision of the Spaniards.
Vliegen managed to hold his first service game against Ferrero but thereafter
the world number three was unstoppable, as he controlled the game from the back
of the court. The Spaniard gained his first break in game four and repeated the
trick in the sixth as he chased down three attempted winners from Vliegen to
force an error on the volley.
By the seventh game Vliegen was looking anxious to get out of the set and
Ferrero capitalised on three simple forehand errors to take it in just 20
minutes. Vliegen lost his serve at the start of the second and although his
game improved as the match continued he was never able to threaten the Ferrero
serve as the Spanish number one completed victory in 52 minutes.
If anything, Moya was even more impressive, as his wheeling forehand simply cut
Rochus to ribbons. The Spaniard reached a drop shot and produced a delicately
struck winner to break his opponent in the opening game, and he stretched the
lead to 5-2 as he cracked back a weak second serve on the crucial point in game
seven.
Rochus had two break points in the next but he eventually piled a backhand into
the net to hand Moya the set in 23 minutes. Moya broke again at the start of
the second and that was pretty much the match sewn up.
Rochus was quickly 4-1 behind and even when he managed to break the Moya serve
for 2-4, the Spaniard hit straight back and served out at 5-2, rattling off
three aces to clinch the win in 57 minutes.
Spain will face either Croatia or the United States in a home quarter-final
that is likely to be played in Valencia on clay.
“If it’s Croatia they have two big servers but on a clay court we should be
able to counter that tactic,” a confident Ferrero said. "We'll put up a great
wall to stop them.
“The United States are a strong rival but we should be stronger.”
