SEVILLE, Spain -- Rafael Nadal barely needed to break a sweat in another dominant performance on clay. Cheap Oakland Raiders Jerseys . David Ferrer then needed one of the best matches of his career to put Spain on the brink of another Davis Cup title. Ferrer rallied for a grueling 6-2, 6-7 (2), 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 victory over Juan Martin del Potro on Friday to give the host Spaniards a 2-0 lead over Argentina in the final. After Nadal brushed aside Juan Monaco in the first match, Ferrer looked to be in trouble after Del Potro went ahead 2 sets to 1. But the Argentine seemed to struggle with fatigue and nerves down the stretch, double-faulting on set point in the fourth to force a decider. Ferrer then jumped out to a 5-1 lead before clinching the victory with his 28th forehand winner to close out a match that lasted nearly five hours. "Maybe today was the best match of my career," Ferrer said after leaving Spain on the verge of a third title in four years. Earlier, Nadal eased to a 6-1, 6-1, 6-2 win over Monaco, and Feliciano Lopez and Fernando Verdasco can close out the series for four-time champion Spain against David Nalbandian and Eduardo Schwank in Saturdays doubles. The United States is the only nation to have rallied from a 2-0 deficit in the final, in 1939 at Australia. "Were still alive, of course, and we have another chance tomorrow," Del Potro said. "(But) you see that even if you play unbelievable tennis against Spain you can lose." Ferrer dropped to his knees and let out a long scream after putting the South Americans on the verge of failing for the fourth time in a final. They also lost to Spain in their last appearance in 2008. "I expected a tough match but maybe not that tough," said Ferrer, who made amends for losing his one singles match in the final at Mar del Plata three years ago. "I was nearly perfect, if not I wouldnt have won." Ferrers comeback looked unlikely after Del Potro took control in the second and third sets, with the former U.S. Open champions booming forehand dictating many of the rallies. Of Del Potros 71 total winners, 39 came from his forehand as the cold conditions favoured the lanky Argentines game. But with Nadal and Spains team willing him on, Ferrer capitalized on Del Potros errors as the Argentine followed up one of his 10 aces with his fifth double-fault to take it to a decisive set. The fifth-ranked Ferrer carried the momentum and the support of the majority of the 26,000 spectators into the decider, and broke in the fourth and sixth games for a 5-1 lead. "We knew (Del Potro) was the best chance to give Argentina one point, and he was very close so were disappointed," Argentina captain Tito Vazquez said. Nadal returned to the comfort of clay after a disappointing performance at last weeks ATP World Tour Finals in London, and his best play followed as he broke Monaco seven times. Monaco struggled to repel Nadal as the Spaniard converted the first of 14 break chances with a forehand passing shot for a 2-1 lead. Nadals impressive selection of winners -- he hit 26 in all -- kept Monaco off-kilter during many long and remarkable rallies, including in the fourth game of the second set when Nadal curled a backhand down the line after repeatedly chasing down Monacos forehand. "I felt like I was playing well but, frankly, its Rafa Nadal," said Monaco, playing in his first final against one of his best friends.

Instead Couture managed to make it back out on the ice to give his team an emotional spark and topped that by scoring the overtime game-winner that got the Sharks back into their second-round series against Los Angeles with a 2-1 victory in Game 3 on Saturday night. Its just the latest big moment for a young player who has emerged as a leader and perhaps the top player on a Sharks team looking to make a deep playoff run. "Logan is a huge, huge part of our team," coach Todd McLellan said Saturday. "This is his coming out party. Nationally people have probably started talking about him. But weve known Logan like this for a long time." With two days off before Game 4 at home on Tuesday night when San Jose will look to tie the series at 2, Couture and his teammates mostly stayed off the ice Sunday to rest up and heal their wounds. Couture got hurt early in the second period when he stepped on a puck with his left skate after a check from Jeff Carter and slammed awkwardly into the boards. He limped off the ice favouring his left leg and went straight to the Sharks dressing room as a hush came over the crowd. San Jose survived the next 15 minutes of game action without Couture or forward Marty Havlat, who left after aggravating a lower-body injury in the first period, by juggling their lines. Couture says hes good to go for Game 4 Tuesday night in San Jose but coach McLellan ruled out Havlat. Centre Adam Burish, who has been ruled out for the whole series versus the Kings, says hes day-to-day and hopes to get into the lineup before the end of the series. "Its playoffs. Everyone plays through injuries," Couture said. "The four years Ive been here, I seen guys play through a lot of injuries. Stanley Cup is what youre playing for. Whatever it takes." Couture showed few signs of the injury in the third period and got the second most ice time of any San Jose forward after returning to the game. The return paid off on the power play early in the overtime when he set up in the slot and took a pass from Patrick Marleau before beating Jonathan Quick with a wrist shot for his fourth goal of the post-season and first ever playoff overtime goal. Cheap New York Giants Jerseys. "Its a feeling that really cant be described," he said. "Its one of the best feelings in the game of hockey. Thats for sure." The game-winner was a bit of retribution for Couture, whose failure to clear a puck while killing a 5-on-3 advantage in the closing minutes of Game 2 led to Los Angeles tying goal in a game the Kings would eventually win. "I dont think about it like that," Couture said. "I just think about it as different games, different plays. I made a play in Game 2 that I shouldnt have made. I should have got the puck out. I didnt. Nothing I can change about that now. So move forward and scored in Game 3." That was a rare mistake for the 24-year-old Couture who is emerging this post-season as the face of a franchise long dominated by gold medal winning stars Joe Thornton and Marleau. A first-round pick in 2007, Couture made his first impact as a late-season call-up who scored four playoff goals in the run to the conference finals in 2010. Couture was tied for the team lead in playoff goals the following year with seven and has been the Sharks top goal-scorer the past two years. "As far as Logan goes, I just think hes getting recognized more for what hes doing," defenceman Dan Boyle said. "Hes been a huge part of this team since he got here with Patty and Joe getting a lot of the headlines. I think hes been one of the go-to guys since he got here. Hes just being a little more recognized now. ... Hes just very important and he showed it again last night why." Couture is far more than a goal-scorer as he often gets matched up against the opposing teams top lines and outplayed the heralded Sedin twins in a first-round sweep of Vancouver. Couture has won 62.9 per cent of his faceoffs this post-season, plays well in all three zones and is a major reason for San Joses improved defence this season. "Hes got a passion and an energy thats contagious," McLellan said. "Sometimes older players do that to younger ones and younger to older. But he has a passion for the game that is second to none and hes got an energy that he brings. He never quits on plays. He drives a lot of people into the game. Thats the sign of a good leader." ' ' '
