Davis Cup – Slovakia:Ukraine – Day 1

The 2011 Davis Cup 1st Europe/Africa group play offs brought together teams Slovakia and Ukraine. Both teams lost their previous Davis Cup ties and must win this play off to stay in “the third league” of the most prestigious mens tennis competition. The losing team will descend into 2nd Europe/Africa group. After the first two matches the score is tied 1:1. In the first match Martin Klizan of Team Slovakia defeated Illya Marchenko in four sets 6:7, 6:3, 6:1, 6:3 and in second match Sergiy Sakhovsky of Team Ukraine defeated Pavol Cervenak in three sets 7:5, 6:2, 6:1.
