RUSSIA v FRANCE

RUSSIA v FRANCE

In his Davis Cup debut, 19-year-old Frenchman Richard Gasquet shook off any signs of freshman nerves defeating Russia's Igor Andreev 6-4, 6-3, 7-6(1) to give France a 1-0 edge.
Nikolay Davydenko, playing in Russia's No. 1 position for the injured Marat Safin, has been beset by his own injuries since his semifinal appearance at Roland Garros but showed little wear in bringing the tie even into Saturday's doubles rubber at the Olympic Stadium in Moscow. He defeated Paul-Henri Mathieu 7-5, 6-2, 7-5.
