Top-ranked Rafael Nadal routed Janko Tipsarevic 6-1, 6-0, 6-2 Saturday to give defending champion Spain a 2-0 lead in its best-of-five Davis Cup series with Serbia.

Nadal broke the 47th-ranked Serbian seven times on the outdoor clay surface, winning 10 straight games at one stage, to put the Spaniards on course to clinching a second-round berth in a single day.

Doubles will be played Saturday afternoon with Spain's Tommy Robredo and Feliciano Lopez scheduled to take on Nenad Zimonjic and Novak Djokovic, although Serbia may opt for Viktor Troicki over Djokovic.

David Ferrer of Spain upset the third-ranked Djokovic 6-3, 6-3, 7-6 (4) in the first singles match at Terra Mitica amusement park.
