Spain, Russia through to Davis Cup quarters (7/3/2010)

David Ferrer crushed Switzerland's Stanislas Wawrinka 6-2 6-4 6-0 to fire depleted champions Spain into the quarter-finals of the Davis Cup on Sunday and set up a clash away to nine-times winners France.

Ferrer's victory in the first-round tie in Logrono gave Spain, missing injury casualties Rafael Nadal, Fernando Verdasco and Juan Carlos Ferrero, an unbeatable 3-1 lead as they bid for a third consecutive title.

Mikhail Youzhny booked Russia's place in the last eight when he thrashed India's Somdev Devvarman 6-2 6-1 6-3 in Moscow en route to a 3-2 win. The 2006 champions will next face Sweden or Argentina.

France, 2009 finalists Czech Republic and 2005 winners Croatia all progressed 3-0 on Saturday, the French defeating Germany in Toulon, Czech Republic ousting Belgium in Bree and the Croats seeing off Ecuador in Varazdin.
