The first point was got by Carlos Berlocq, after his opponent Philipp Kohlschreiber withdrew due to an injury at the end of the fifth set.

The Argentine team led by Martin Jaite may reach the quarterfinals tomorrow if it wins the doubles from 1 pm.

However, if Argentina cannot win that game will have two more chances on Sunday.
