Nicolas Almagro will be looking to seal a Spanish victory against Kazakhstan when he takes on Mikhail Kukushkin on SundayYou can watch and bet on Almagro v Kukushkin live for free at bet365 > live streaming > tennisAs expected, Spain have raced away to a 2-0 lead in their Davis Cup clash against Kazakhstan, which means that Nicolas Almagro’s reverse singles rubber against Mikhail Kukushkin could turn out to be nothing but a mere formality. Still, if the Spanish duo of Marcel Granollers and Feliciano Lopez should somehow lose against Yuriy Schukin and Evgeny Korolev on Saturday, things might get interesting.
Almagro played fairly well on Friday, and his 6-3, 4-6, 6-1, 6-1 win over Andrey Golubev gave Spain their second win. “I’m very happy with my tennis today, I think I played my best tennis in Davis Cup,” remarked the Spaniard after the match. “Now we need one more point, so we see what happen tomorrow in the doubles. It’s very fun to play here in Spain, it’s a little bit cold, but I think it’s perfect when you play in your country.”
Kukushkin will probably prove be a tougher opponent than Golubev, so Almagro’s work isn’t necessarily done just yet. As the world No. 61, Kukushkin is recognised as a regular main draw entrant in ATP World Tour events. He might be able to test Almagro, though it will be a bit of a shock if he wins.
