Serbia and USA had a close encounter with each rubber having to count. Serbia won the first 2 rubbers with Troicki and Djokovic winning them. The American team didn't have Roddick on their team and suffered a scare when Mike Bryan got food poisoning and couldn't compete in the doubles with brother Bob Bryan so Bob had to play with John Isner instead. They did win the doubles but Djokovic stopped the USA hopes by winning a tight five-setter against John Isner and then Sam Querrey won the dead rubber against Troicki.
Russia also had a close match against India with no Davydenko or Safin on their team and so Youzhny and Kunitsyn had to step in instead. They did win their singles rubbers but were beaten in the doubles to make the tie 3-2 to Russia. Argentina also had a memorable win against Sweden with the out-of-injury David Nalbandian helping them get it by winning their doubles rubber and the last singles rubber to take them to the quarters as well with a score of 3-2.
