Wayne Arthurs and Todd Woodbridge ground out an exciting five-set victory over Switzerland's Roger Federer and Marc Rosset to give Australia a 2-1 lead in their Davis Cup semi-final in Melbourne.
The hosts squeezed home 4-6 7-6 5-7 6-4 6-4 in a doubles encounter that was described by Australia's non-playing captain John Fitzgerald as "one of the best Davis Cup matches I've ever seen".
The tie had been level at 1-1 after former world number one Lleyton Hewitt beat Michel Kratochvil 6-4 6-4 6-1 and Federer beat Mark Philippoussis in a rematch of their Wimbledon final 6-3 6-4 7-6 in Friday's opening singles rubbers.
