BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Argentina has advanced to the quarterfinals of the Davis Cup after winning its doubles match against Romania.

Juan Ignacio Chela and Eduardo Schwank defeated Victor Hanescu and Horia Tecau, Romania, 6-2, 7-6 (8), 6-1 Saturday to give the host country an insurmountable 3-0 lead in the best-of-five series.

The first-round victory in the World Group allows Argentina to rest injured David Nalbandian for Sunday’s inconsequential reverse singles. Nalbandian and Juan Monaco gave Argentina a 2-0 lead Friday.

Argentina will host the next round against the Czech Republic or Kazakhstan.
