Paul, McDonald give United States 2-0 lead over Uzbekistan in Davis Cup
The HinduMackenzie McDonald and Tommy Paul gave the United States a 2-0 lead in their Davis Cup qualifier against Uzbekistan on Friday, winning their singles rubbers in straight sets in Tashkent. Fresh off their Australian Open exploits, McDonald wasted little time in getting the U.S. - record 32-times Davis Cup winner - on the board in the indoor arena at the Olympic Tennis School. Having claimed his biggest career win when he toppled Australian Open top seed Rafa Nadal in straight sets in the second round, McDonald beat Sergey Fomin 6-4 6-1 in little over an hour, sealing the match with an ace. McDonald is one of three debutants for the American team in the Davis Cup alongside Denis Kudla and Austin Krajicek, with interim captain David Nainkin saying the tournament is a “huge priority”.
