Russia to face Germany
LONDON, April 9: Marat Safin once again proved Russia's Davis Cup hero of the hour, putting the defending champions into the semi-finals with a victory in the deciding rubber against France on Sunday.
Safin’s 7-6, 6-3, 6-2 triumph over Paul-Henri Mathieu gave Russia a 3-2 win and a place in September's semi-finals against Germany.
Germany, Sweden and the United States had already secured semi-final places after Saturday's doubles.
Germany failed to complete a fifth successive whitewash of neighbours Belgium on Sunday. The Belgians won both the reverse singles in Ostend to make the final scoreline 3-2.
Former champions Sweden, who will host the US in the Sept 21-23 semi-finals, finished with a 4-1 scoreline against Argentina.
