Youzhny dismantled Devvarman in 6-2, 6-1, 6-3 fashion in 1 hour, 55 minutes at Small Sports Arena. The gritty Russian piled up six service breaks while holding his serve all 12 times on Day 3.

A dead rubber on Sunday saw Indian Rohan Bopanna beat Russian Teimuraz Gabashvili 7-6 (7-5), 6-4.

On Saturday here, the dynamic doubles tandem of Mahesh Bhupathi and Leander Paes kept the Indians alive by notching a 96-minute straight-sets triumph over a Russian tandem of Igor Kunitsyn and Gabashvili.

On Friday in Moscow, Youzhny and Kunitsyn each won opening singles rubbers to give the hosts a commanding 2-0 advantage.

Two-time champion Russia (2002, 2006) is captained by Shamil Tarpischev, while Team India, which was making its first appearance in the World Group since 1998, was guided by Shiv-Prakash Misra.

Russia and India have now split four all-time meetings.
