Israel (ranked 8th in the Davis Cup standings, with 5,394 points) hosted heavily favored Russia (which won in both 2002 and 2006, and was the top- ranked country in Davis Cup standings, with 27,897 points) in a Davis Cup quarterfinal tie in July 2009, on indoor hard courts at the Nokia Arena in Tel Aviv. Israel was represented by Sela, Harel Levy, Jonathan Erlich, and Andy Ram. Russia’s lineup consisted of Marat Safin (#60 in the world; former world
1), Igor Andreev (24), Igor Kunitsyn (35), and Mikhail Youzhny (69; former
world #8). Sela said before the tie: “We feel we can beat the Russians.” The stage was then set by Safin, who prior to the tie told the press: “With all due respect, Israel was lucky to get to the quarterfinals.” The Israeli team’s response was to beat the Russian team in each of their first three matches, thereby winning the tie. Levy, world #210, beat Russia’s top player, Andreev, world #24 in the opening match. Sela (#33) followed by beating Russian Youzhny. Israeli captain Eyal Ran likened his players to two fighter jets on court, saying: “I felt as if I had two F-16s out there today, they played amazingly well.” The 10,500 spectators were the largest crowd ever for a tennis match in Israel. The next day Israelis Ram and Erlich beat Safin and Kunitsyn in front of a boisterous crowd of over 10,000. Even the Saudi Gazette described the doubles match as a “thrilling” win. Ran was carried shoulder- high around the Tel Aviv stadium, as the 10,000-strong crowd applauded. With the tie clinched for Israel, the reverse singles rubbers were “dead”, and instead of best-of-five matches, best-of-three sets were played, with the outcomes of little to no importance. Israel wrapped up a 4–1 victory over Russia, as Levy defeated Kunitsyn, while Sela retired with a wrist injury while down 3–4 in the first set against Andreev. Israel, however, lost to Spain in the semi-finals, 4–1.
