Davis Cup

AUSTIN, Texas

Brothers Bob and Mike Bryan earned the United States its first point of a Davis Cup quarterfinal against Spain, keeping the Americans alive with a 6-7 (7), 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 victory over Marcel Granollers and Fernando Verdasco in doubles. Granollers and Verdasco were playing their first doubles match together. Granollers was a substitute for Feliciano Lopez, who won a four-hour singles match over Mardy Fish on Friday. Spain leads the Americans 2-1 heading into Sunday’s singles matches pitting David Ferrer against Fish and Lopez against Andy Roddick. The U.S. is 1-36 in Davis Cup history when falling behind 0-2.

Top-seeded John Isner will play Olivier Rochus in the final at the Hall of Fame championship. Isner advanced with a 7-5, 7-6 (4) victory over Tobais Kamke. Rochus made it to the championship match by beating qualifier Michael Yani 6-2, 6-4. Isner is 6-foot-9 — the second-tallest player on the ATP tour — and Rochus is the smallest at 5-6. Isner says it will make for some good pictures before and after the match.
