ASTANA, Kazakhstan, April 6 (UPI) -- Andrey Golubev and Yuriy Schukin kept Kazakhstan's Davis Cup hopes alive with a straight-set win Saturday in doubles over the Czech Republic.
The Czech, defending Davis Cup champions, won both singles matches Friday for a commanding lead in the best-of-five quarterfinal series. But Golubev and Schukin came away with a 7-6 (7-2), 6-4, 6-3 win Saturday over Jan Hajek and Radek Stepanek to extend the series into Sunday's reverse singles.
