Escape
By the paper much stronger Switzerland, which last year won the Davis Cup, De Bakker could play freely. He started with a double break energetically and won the first set 6-2.
Wawrinka made a remarkable number of mistakes for his home crowd, but did well to win the second set. De Bakker lost in that set at a gap of 4-3 his own service game and could catch up beyond repair (6-3).
The third set went a long standoff, until De Bakker in the lead 5-4 of two break points won. He missed them both, but then used his third chance, or (6-4).
A stunt was on the books when De Bakker took a 3-0 lead in the fourth set. He let escape Wawrinka (6-3) and could be disappointed about in the beginning not hide the decisive fifth set.
De Bakker came behind 3-0, fought back to 5-5, but still had to leave to Wawrinka victory

Hutagalung played no undeserving race, but simply was a bit too small for Federer. The Dutchman lost his service a total of four times and it took until late in the third set before themselves a chance was to break the storage of his Swiss opponent.
Huta Galung lost in the eighth game of the third set two break points and a chance to get back in the game. He then gave himself his store and the lot off your hands.
On Saturday the duel continues with the doubles match of Matwé Middelkoop and debutant Tim Rijthoven against Federer and Wawrinka. Netherlands must win that game to stay in the race for a place in the world group
