Bryan brothers win doubles point for USA

AUSTIN, Texas (AP)?Brothers Bob and Mike Bryan earned the United States its first point of a Davis Cup quarterfinal against Spain, keeping the Americans alive with a doubles victory over Marcel Granollers and Fernando Verdasco.

The No. 1 doubles team in the world dropped the first set before earning a 6-7 (7), 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 victory Saturday. Granollers and Verdasco had never played doubles together. Granollers was a Saturday substitute for Feliciano Lopez, who won a four-hour singles match over Mardy Fish on Friday.

Spain now leads the Americans 2-1 heading into Sunday?s singles matches pitting David Ferrer against Fish and Lopez against Andy Roddick.

The U.S. is 1-36 in Davis Cup history when falling behind 0-2. The only time the U.S. rallied to win was 1934 against Australia in London.
