MADRID, Spain — The United States won the doubles match Saturday to trail Spain 2-1 in the Davis Cup semifinals.

Mike Bryan and Mardy Fish rallied to beat Fernando Verdasco and Feliciano Lopez 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 on clay to give the U.S. its first point after being swept in singles play Friday.

Top-ranked Rafael Nadal can clinch Spain's sixth final appearance by beating Andy Roddick in reverse singles on Sunday. David Ferrer of Spain plays Sam Querrey in the other match.

The winning team will face either Argentina or Russia, with the Argentines leading their semifinal in Buenos Aires.

Spain took advantage of the American pair's shaky serve early on to register the first break point and first set.

Fish, a last-minute replacement for Bob Bryan, clinched the second set before Bryan's backhand brought the key break on the way to securing the third set.

The U.S. looked set to close it out when Verdasco floated a backhanded volley long for an early break in the fourth set, but Fish netted Lopez's forehand to force the decisive fifth set.

A costly miss by Lopez gave the U.S. the only break and ultimately the match at the Las Ventas bullfighting arena.

The U.S. has won a record 32 Davis Cup titles but has rallied just once in 32 attempts when trailing 2-0 — 74 years ago against Britain.

The eighth-ranked Roddick's task to keep American hopes alive will be difficult against Nadal, a four-time French Open champion who has only lost two of his last 116 clay-court matches.

The Americans also won the doubles over Spain in the 2004 final at Seville, but the Spaniards went on to win their second title.
