Both Kukushkin and Golubev won their respective matches, so that means Kazakhstan advances, right? Or do they play more matches before they advance? My book still hasn't graded the play yet, so I thought I may be missing something. I don't wager on the Davis Cup very often, but I thought they advance after they win? Just need some clarification please.

If they lost there doubles match they still need to win 1 more match

Best of 5

Oh ok, thanks guys! I knew I was missing something! Is there a pretty decent shot they'll advance now? I want to just ride it out but not sure if it'd be smarter to hedge just in case.

I wouldn't hedge.. I am mad at myself for not playing at 1.55, it quickly dropped to 1.35-40. No way this Belgian team wins next 3 matches.

It got a little hairy after Kukushkin lost but fortunately Golubev was ready to pick up the slack today, Kazakhstan won.

Why did Golubev win so easily, anyone watched ? Bemelmans tired ?

Golubev's just that good brah!

they will play Swizerland in the next round....im not sure where it will be played

Switzerland chooses surface, so I'd guess Switzerland. I have no f*cking clue how home and choice advantage is decided in DC. Probably "by lot" as everything else.

If Roger and Stan keep their current form and play in all ties, they should bring it home. As I understand it they'll be playing the finals at home too when push comes to shove.

I found it somewhat funny that Berdych backed out of the Davis Cup team. He says he's done enough for the country and he needs a rest. He knows they can't beat Switzerland if they match up.

I guess the bitch should withdraw from all quarterfinals he reaches from now on then.
