MADRID, Spain -- Rafael Nadal and Marc Lopez sealed victory for Spain in its Davis Cup World Group playoff against Ukraine, beating Sergiy Stakhovsky and Denys Molchanov in the doubles for an unassailable 3-0 lead on Saturday. Dylan Cantrell Stitched Jersey . The Spaniards won 6-2, 6-7 (6), 6-3, 6-4 on the outdoor red clay at Caja Magica. After Nadal and Fernando Verdasco won their singles rubbers on Friday, captain Alex Corretja paired the world No. 2 with Lopez to try and prevent the tie from going to reverse singles on Sunday. Nadal, who won his 13th Grand Slam at the U.S. Open on Monday, still looked fresh despite the travel and playing two straight days. Nadal and Lopez broke the Ukrainian duos first two service games to set the tone as they extended Spains unbeaten run on clay to 27 consecutive ties. "We played at a good level," Nadal said. "In my case, I had a moment I felt tired but later we were able to recover. We achieved our goal and thats the important thing." This was the first time Nadal had played for Spain since December 2011, when he won the decisive point of the final against Argentina to earn Spain its fifth title. Nadals absence was due in part to a knee injury that sidelined him for seven months last season. "Rafas commitment to the team was critical and we have to be grateful for that," Corretja said.
