You can never walk away from a Davis Cup match secured by the score. The stakes are too high, the pressure palpable. Spain was leading in the third set by 5-1 and serving with two breaks when I became preoccupied with wood and fires.
Expecting to see the middle of the fourth set, I returned to witness the end of the third. Argentina came back and led 5-1 in the tiebreak. Then the crowd got rowdy, David Nalbandian double-faulted, and Spain won 6 points in a row to take the set.
The host team never recovered.
Tomorrow should be most interesting.
