World Team Cup

France blank USA

AFP, Dusseldorf
France received a boost to their Davis Cup hopes when they defeated the United States 3-0 at the World Team Cup here on Sunday.
France, who will host the Americans in the Davis Cup semifinals at Roland Garros in July, claimed a 3-0 victory in the first of their three round-robin matches.
Arnaud Clement beat Andy Roddick 3-6, 6-4, 6-3, Nicolas
Escude defeated Pete Sampras 76, 2-6, 7-6 before Clement and
Escude teamed up to overwhelm James Blake and Jared Palmer 6-1 6-1.
Sampras suffered his third straight defeat since losing in the Houston final last month, but had plenty of opportunities to come out on top against Escude.
He held three points to win the first set and after dominating the second he served for the match at 54 in the third.
"I was feeling really good out there, but I played a couple of loose service games and I have to give him credit," said Sampras.
"He hung in there and served really well. I felt I played fine and did everything today but win, and that's disappointing. The game's there and I just need to win those crucial points."
Clement took advantage of some serving errors from Roddick to turn the match in his favour, at one stage winning 13 of 14 points as he built a 4-0 lead in the deciding set.
In a match of fluctuating fortunes, Roddick then won the next 11 points, but was unable to stage a complete recovery.
Spain claimed an expected victory over Britain, with Alex Corretja overcoming some surprisingly stiff resistance from Martin Lee, who was playing instead of the injured Greg Rusedski.
The 2001 French Open finalist emerged with a 6-3 6-4 win and Albert Costa claimed his first clay court victory over Tim Henman in three attempts winning 4-6 6-3 6-2.
The World Team Cup consists of two groups of four teams. The teams in each group play each other on a round-robin basis, with each tie consisting of two singles matches and a doubles. The winning team from each group advance to Saturday's final and competes for the 480,000-dollar first prize.
