USA Finishes Off Austria in Davis Cup

VIENNA, Austria (Ticker) -- Twins Mike and Bob Bryan split a pair of singles matches on Sunday to wrap up a 4-1 first-round Davis Cup victory for the United States over Austria. The Bryans helped the Americans book their place in the quarterfinals when the top-seeded doubles tandem nailed down a 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 win over Jurgen Melzer and Julian Knowle on Saturday.

The Americans, who opened play Friday with singles victories by Andy Roddick and James Blake, will face France in April's quarterfinal round. It will be the 15th meeting between the countries, with both nations splitting the first 14 ties. The French beat the Americans, 3-2, in their last meeting, a semifinal tilt in Paris back in 2002.
