   Quite unusual doubles in the Davis Cup finals because neither of players was a doubles specialist (no-one with a positive record!) # On paper it looked like a 50/50 match-up, but the Russians completely dominated their Argentinian opponents. Tursunov rose to the occasion and he was flawless in the most important moments of the 1-hour 38-minute encounter, his serve was rock-solid (8 aces), his net-play perfect on Safin’s serves, he also contributed to the victory with a few firm forehand passing-shots. The Russians didn’t play even one ‘deuce’ in their 14 service games.
