BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Fabio Fognini made his experience tell to beat Guido Pella in five sets and send Italy into the Davis Cup quarter-finals at the expense of depleted holders Argentina on Monday. Fognini battled back to win 2-6 4-6 6-3 6-4 6-2 in the final and deciding rubber which had been postponed on Sunday due to rain delays and failing light.
Italy, who lost at home in last year's quarter-finals to an Argentine team that went on to win the trophy for the first time, will take on Belgium in the last eight in April after their 3-2 victory.
