Tomic pulls Australia level in Davis Cup

SYDNEY (AAP) - July 08 - In-form Bernard Tomic pulled Australia level in their Davis Cup Asia-Oceania tie against China in Beijing, after debutant Marinko Matosevic suffered a heartbreaking five-set loss.
Matosevic led one set to love and two sets to one before going down 4-6 6-3 3-6 6-4 6-4 to Di Wu.
Wimbledon quarter-finalist Tomic overcame a second-set blip to beat Ze Zhang 6-3 5-7 6-4 6-4.
Lleyton Hewitt and Chris Guccione will contest Saturday's doubles rubber against Mao-Xin Gong and Zhe Li.
Melburnian Matosevic, who beat Wu in Caloundra earlier this year and is ranked 263 places higher than him at 141, was disappointed he couldn't close out his match.
"I was just very nervous out there and I made too many unforced errors," Matosevic said.
"I think I have just got to learn to cope with the moment better in a high intensity environment like Davis Cup.
"I was two sets to one and 1-0 up and had 15-40 and a few break points but I just coudn't do it, I made too many errors today."
Tomic, who at 71 is ranked 311 places higher than Zhang, improved his Davis Cup singles record to 3-0.
