Davis Cup In 2010 Began With Some Interesting Opening-round Matches At The Beginning Of March. Which Of These Tennis Powerhouse Countries Won Its First Match In The International Competition? |

Answer» Davis Cup has sadly been neglected in recent years by many of the top players, who often use the weeks off to rest for upcoming events. 2010 was no different. The first-round matchups were scintillating. Spain under Nadal was set against Federer's Switzerland, the United States was drawn against a Djokovic-led SERBIA, and Argentina's deep squad faced off against Sweden. UNFORTUNATELY, Nadal and Federer were both hurt, making the MATCH a struggle between Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka and Spain's David Ferrer and Nicolas Almagro. RODDICK decided not to play Davis Cup in 2010, a major factor in the American's defeat to Serbia 3-2. With Del Potro hurt, Argentina's victory over Sweden was owed to the momentous return of David Nalbandian. Croatia swept Ecuador, Israel faltered to Chile, the Czech Republic beat Belgium, France beat Germany, and Russia squeaked out a WIN over India. The quarterfinals were later in the year and also were surprising. Defending champions Spain were without Nadal, but their loss 5-0 to France was shocking. Argentina beat Russia, with Nalbandian's heroics. Serbia won a culturally-controversial match over Croatia, and the Czech Republic eliminated Chile.
