Amazing Davis Cup Weekend

Four of the eight World Group ties go to live 5th rubbers!  The 2nd longest singles match in history!  Several 2-1 final day comebacks!  Just when you think you'd seen it all with Fabio Fognini he loses to some guy named Nedovyesov to send Kazakhstan to their 4th quarterfinal in 5 years!  What a weekend it was!

5th rubber winners:
-David Goffin (BEL)
-Alexandr Nedovyesov (KAZ)
-Federico Delbonis (ARG)
-Vasek Pospisil (CAN)

-Gerald Melzer (AUT)
-Alejandro Gonzalez (COL)
-Jose Hernandez (DOM)
-Cem Ilkel (TUR)
-Aqeel Khan (PAK)

I don't have time for a full recap right now, but look at the quarterfinal matchups, not exactly a list of the most successful Davis Cup nations of recent times.

-France at Great Britain
-Kazakhstan at Australia
-Serbia at Argentina
-Canada at Belgium
