Kazakhstan completed a remarkable final day comeback on its Davis Cup World Group debut to set up a quarter-final against three-time finalist Argentina.

Inspired by Andrey Golubev's heroics in the first reverse singles rubber on Sunday, Mikhail Kukushkin committed just 16 unforced errors to record a 6-4, 6-7(4), 7-6(8), 6-0 win over Jan Hajek of the Czech Republic in the deciding rubber.

Earlier in the day, Golubev kept alive Kazakhstan's hopes after he beat World No. 7 Berdych of the Czech Republic 7-5, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2 to level the tie at 2-2. Golubev improved to a 3-6 lifetime record against Top 10 opponents after he hit 15 aces and a whopping 90 winners past his higher-ranked opponent for victory in three hours and 30 minutes.

Andy Roddick recorded his 33rd Davis Cup singles rubber win for the United States on Sunday when he edged past Paul Capdeville of Chile 3-6, 7-6(2), 6-3, 6-3 in three hours and six minutes.

"My plan was to make him work hard," said Roddick, who is now five singles rubbers shy of John McEnroe's 49 matches played. "I knew I was fresher, I had better legs and that won me the match."

Roddick has now won 12 rubbers to clinch ties for the United States. John Isner beat Guillermo Rivera-Aranguiz 6-3, 6-7(4), 7-5 in the fifth dead rubber. The United States will meet Spain after Wimbledon in July.
