Spain's Davis Cup tennis team qualified for the Septembers' semifinals on Sunday thanks to Juan Carlos Ferrero's win over German rival Andreas Beck in straight sets of 6-4, 6-4 and 6-4, which gave Spain a 3-2 win in the series.

Earlier on Sunday, Germany's Philipp Koholschreiber had equalized the series after a fraught battle with Spain's Fernando Verdasco, in sets of 6-4, 6-2, 1-6, 2-6 and 8-6.

Juan Carlos Ferrero (C) of Spain is congratulated by team mates after winning the Davis Cup tennis quarter-finals match against Andreas Beck of Germany in Marbella July 12, 2009.

Ferrero, the world's number 37 and a member of Davis Cup winning teams in 2000 and 2004, was absent during the last three editions of the tournament.

However, a good performance at Wimbledon Open, where he was a special guest, help him raise morale and his game. Under pressure with the series equalized, Ferrero played at the top of his game. On the first day, Andrea Beck defeated Spain's Tommy Robledo and Spain's doubles team defeated their German rivals.

Spain's next competitive game is against Israel, which eliminated Russia on Sunday, in a shock upset.

Also on Sunday, top-seeded United States lost to Croatia and Argentina lost to the Czech Republic.
