MOSCOW, Feb. 8 (UPI) -- Mikhail Youzhny and Nikolay Davydenko claimed victories Friday giving Russia a 2-0 lead in its best-of-five Davis Cup series against Serbia.
The Serbian team played without world No. 3 Novak Djokovic, who sat out Friday's singles match because of the flu. He is expected to play in Saturday's doubles match and Sunday's reverse singles.
