Julien Benneteau and Michael Llodra have made the point of qualification to the team of France at the expense of Germany. Les Bleus regain Spain or Switzerland in the quarterfinals of the Davis Cup.
«I'm confident we'll win. Tonight there will be 3-0!"Jo-Wilfried Tsonga had been right. Julien Benneteau and Michael Llodra, associated for the first time in Davis Cup, had only to complete the work initiated by Gaël Monfils and their leader yesterday. Faced with Christopher Kas and Philipp Kohlschreiber, double French fulfills its mission (6 / 1 6 / 4 1 / 6 7 / 5).
A starting gun:
Things could not be better start for the Blues. Although tense during the hymns and the heating, Benneteau, who honored his first cap, was quickly brands. Conversely, Germans are regularly embarrassed. Usually so adroit in setbacks, Kohlschreiber slow to adjust the focus, while Kas failed to win any faceoff Carried 4 / 0 in less than twenty minutes, Germany narrowly avoided a bicycle wheel (6 / 1). The walk continued health for the Blues, who managed to break the second set of entry (2 / 0). Break all the more important that the discussions were balanced. The Mannschaft played better but could not catch up (6 / 4).
Benneteau is the shock:
The France was only one round of qualifying for the quarterfinals. Kas and Kohlschreiber was not giving up either. They took advantage of a huge slump to reduce their opponents to score (1 / 6). It must be said that they were somewhat relaxed to start the fourth set in the service. Llodra was however to fight to keep his commitment (1 / 0). The Germans then seemed stronger, although Kohlschreiber was threatened in the sixth game (3 / 3). The Tricolores yet got a ball game 5 / 5, again on the service of a native of Augsburg, but failed to convert. It was only postponed. At one point in the tiebreak (5 / 6, 40-15 Service Kas), the Germans left spinning four straight points, led a good Benneteau, solid bottom short (7 / 5) . Les Bleus regain Spain or Switzerland in the quarterfinals of the Davis Cup.
