US seal Davis Cup tie 4-1

The United States, still in a euphoric haze from clinching their 32nd Davis Cup crown, finished off a 4-1 victory over Russia in the 2007 World Group final. James Blake claimed his second match of the tie when he defeated Dmitry Tursunov 1-6, 6-3, 7-5 .

When Tursunov hit a forehand wide, a smiling Blake raised his arms and jogged to the sidelines, where he was embraced by US captain Patrick McEnroe.

Andreev earned Russia’s lone point, with a 6-3, 7-6 (4) win over Bob Bryan in the first reverse singles match.
