Djokovic beaten as Murray brothers double up for victory

Kukuskhin, who dominated Troicki throughout the match, says his victory could pave the way for a surprise win against the 2010 champion.

Viktor Troicki swept past Aleksandr Nedovyesov 6-2, 6-3, 6-4 as Serbia defeated Kazakhstan 3-2 in their first-round Davis Cup tie Sunday.

Having had his left shoulder massaged by Serbia's team doctor during breaks between games in the third set, Djokovic closed out the match in one hour and 53 minutes.

"I want to congratulate my opponent for a fantastic performance and he would have been a worthy victor too", Djokovic said after his match.

Golubev and Nedovyesov dominated, serving strongly and allowing the Serbs little space to fight back despite the presence of the world's top-ranked player Djokovic and the home crowd.

The Czech Republic are leading 2-1 against Germany, after Tomas Berdych and Radek Stepanek beat Phillip Kohlschreiber and Philipp Petzschner 7-6 (9-7), 7-5, 6-4.

Murray's record in Davis Cup is exceptional, with only two singles losses from 31 matches, and Smith said: " Andy can beat anyone - including Novak. But he added that "tomorrow is a new day and I am sure I will play better in the singles".

He downed Alexsandr Nedovyesov, 6-2, 6-3, 6-4, to set up a must-see quarterfinal battle with Great Britain.

Both players had upped their game and produced some of the scintillating and exciting tennis with long and exhausting rallies but it was Murray who eventually able to slog it out in just under five hours.

The packed calendar made it all the more surprising that Murray committed so strongly to playing in as many ties as Britain have in the competition this year.
