France beats Spain in Davis Cup doubles

The French team of Michael Llodra and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga prevailed in Saturday Davis Cup doubles match against Spain. The straight-sets win cut Spain's lead to 2-1 in the best-of-five contest and blunted some of the momentum Spain built up in Friday's singles victories by David Ferrer and Rafael Nadal. Llodra and Tsonga scored a quick 6-1, 6-2, 6-0 win over Feliciano Lopez and Fernando Verdasco on the clay court in Cordoba, Spain. Sunday's reverse singles lineup pits Nadal against Gilles Simon and Ferrer against Richard Gasquet. French captain Guy Forget has not ruled out the possibility of Tsonga taking the court against Nadal.
