You’d have to go down in the Davis Cup hierarchy to the Europe/Africa zonal Group II relegation play-offs for this one. Tunisia claimed an impressive 4-1 win over Cyprus away in Nicosia but it wasn’t their No1 Malek Jaziri who stole the show but the unheralded world No799 Moez Echargui. The 24-year-old La Marsa-native upset former top-10er and current world No56 Marcos Baghdatis (who just last year was a runner-up at the ATP 500 Dubai tournament) 7-5, 7-6 (2), 4-6, 4-6, 6-1 in the second rubber of the tie to give the Tunisians a 2-0 lead. This was just Echargui’s second Davis Cup tie.
