HYOGO, Japan, Feb. 10 (UPI) -- Wins by Japan's Go Soeda and Croatia's Ivo Karlovic left the teams tied after Friday's play of the best-of-five, first-round Davis Cup series in Japan.
Soeda rallied for a 6-7 (3-7), 3-6, 6-4, 6-3, 7-5 win over Ivan Dodig in a 4-hour battle before Karlovic topped Kei Nishikori 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 in less than 2 hours.
Soeda had a pair of breaks in each of the last three sets in getting by Dodig. Dodig's big serve delivered 23 aces but even two aces couldn't keep Soeda from getting a break in the 10th game of the third set to keep the match going. A break in the 11th game of the final set put Soeda in position to serve out the match.
Karlovic lost just 12 points on serve and didn't face a break point in his win over Nishikori. Karlovic committed only 14 unforced errors against 40 winners.
The 1-1 series tie will be broken Saturday when Karlovic and Lovro Zovko team for a doubles match against Tatsuma Ito and Yuichi Sugita. The series will be decided in Sunday's singles when Dodig opens against Nishikori and Karlovic plays Soeda.
The winning team heads to the Davis Cup quarterfinals April 6-8 against either Argentina or Germany.
Friday marked Japan's first World Group appearance since 1985.
