Madrid, Dec 2 (AFP\/APP):World number five Andrey Rublev battled back to defeat Sweden’s 171st-ranked Elias Ymer 6-2, 5-7, 7-6 (7\/3) to give Russia a 1-0 lead in their Davis Cup quarter-final on Thursday.<\/p>\n

“There’s a lot of pressure when you know that you have to win and your opponent has nothing to lose,” said Rublev.<\/p>\n

World number two and US Open champion Daniil Medvedev can wrap up a place in the last-four when he faces Elias Ymer’s brother Mikael later Thursday.<\/p>\n

If 94th-ranked Mikael pulls off a shock result, the quarter-final will be decided by the doubles rubber between Aslan Karatsev and Rublev against Andre Goransson and Robert Lindstedt.<\/p>\n

Russia are looking to reach a second successive semifinal while Sweden’s last appearance in the final four was in 2007. The winner of the tie will face Germany for a place in Sunday’s final with Novak Djokovic’s Serbia meeting neighbours Croatia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
