Davydenko refused to blame the noisy crowd for the defeat, especially when they refused to be quiet when he was serving at 3-0 in the second set tiebreak.

"It was me, I didn't make any good serves in that moment of the tiebreak," said Davydenko. "The tiebreak was the crucial part of the match and he came up with the winners."

Dmitry Tursunov made the final score 3-2 when he beat Ivo Karlovic 6-4 6-4 in the dead rubber but it was scant consolation for Russia captain Shamil Tarpischev who had hoped to become the first captain to win the Fed Cup and Davis Cup in the same year after Russia's women triumphed over France last week in Paris.
