The Associated Press

MADRID, Spain — Doubles players Mardy Fish and Mike Bryan did their part to keep the United States’ hopes of defending their Davis Cup title alive against Spain on Saturday.

Now it’s Andy Roddick’s turn.

Fish and Bryan rallied to beat Spanish duo Fernando Verdasco and Feliciano Lopez 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 to give the U.S. its first semifinals point on the clay at Las Ventas bullfighting arena after being swept in Friday’s singles play.

With Spain leading 2-1 and looking to reach its sixth final, the pressure falls squarely on Roddick and his decisive match against Nadal in the first reverse singles rubber today.

“I’m not worried. (Andy) knows what he has to do, he’s been in this position many times before,” U.S. captain Patrick McEnroe said.

The U.S. has won the Davis Cup 32 times, but has only rallied back from a 1-2 deficit five times. A Roddick victory would make fifth-ranked David Ferrer’s match against Sam Querrey the decisive one. The winning team will face either Argentina or Russia .

In other action on Saturday:

Safina, Kuznetsova make final

TOKYO — Russians Svetlana Kuznetsova and Dinara Safina cruised into the final of the Pan Pacific Open with straight-set victories. Seventh-ranked Kuznetsova defeated Slovenia’s Katarina Srebotnik 7-6 (5), 6-2, while No. 5 Safina routed compatriot Nadia Petrova 6-1, 6-0. Safina will bid for her fourth title of the season .

Guangzhou final set

GUANGZHOU, China — Olympic bronze medalist Vera Zvonareva beat China’s Zheng Jie 6-3, 7-5 to advance to the final of the Guangzhou International. The top-seeded Russian will face fourth-seeded Peng Shuai of China, a 6-2, 6-1 winner over France’s Camille Pin.
