Stadium Capacity: 8,000
04 April - 06 April 2003
Surface: Clay (Red Clay) - Outdoors
Ball Type: Penn Championship (Black Seal)
This is the third meeting* between these two nations in Davis Cup and so far
Argentina has yet to emerge victorious. The tie is also a rematch of last
year's semifinal in Moscow, in which the Russians established a winning three
rubbers to one lead before Argentina claimed the final dead rubber. The
highlight of the tie, however, was the epic doubles rubber, won by the
Argentine pair of Lucas Arnold and David Nalbandian 19-17 in the fifth set
after six hours 20 minutes. It was the longest match in Davis Cup since the
introduction of the tie break in 1989, yet Marat Safin and David Nalbandian
returned to the court the next day to contest the fourth rubber, which Safin
won to send Russia to the final. That semifinal was played indoors on a
medium-paced carpet, so Argentina will be hoping to exact revenge on its
favoured clay courts at home this time around. There may not be any rubbers
as close as that doubles in Moscow, but the tie looks finely balanced and
could turn out to be the clash of the quarterfinals.
