2007 Davis Cup Quater-Final--Russia bt France 3:2

Decisive Rubber R5 (Well done, Marat !! Hooray!!!!!!)
"I didn't expect our skipper would put me on court this weekend and of course I never expected it would be so easy as I could not find my form in two recent months," said Safin.

"I had no doubts that I would win, and confidence is everything in tennis."

賽後薩芬表示"我沒想到隊長周末會派我上場﹐當然﹐我更沒料到會贏得這麼輕鬆﹐因為最近兩個月我始終找不到狀態"

"我對於贏球並無懷疑﹐本來網球輸贏的關鍵就在於自信 "

Davis Cup certainly brings the best out in Mikhail Youzhny, and today was no exception. In a titanic battle, the Russia overcame French No. 1 Richard Gasquet 62 63 67(8) 57 86 in four hours and 48 minutes to draw Russia level at the end of the opening day of this Quarterfinal tie.
Earlier Paul-Henri Mathieu (FRA) surprised Nikolay Davydenko (RUS) 26 62 61 75.
戴維斯杯充份讓 YOUZHNY 發揮了潛能極致﹐今天也不例外。在一場激烈的硬仗後﹐俄羅斯人歷經四小時48分鐘的搏鬥擊敗GASQUET﹐把八強賽第一日俄羅斯的比分拉致平分。在之前第一點比賽﹐MATHIEU 跌破眼鏡贏了 DAVYDENKO。
