Goffin, who defeated Andreas Seppi 6-4 6-3 6-3 on Friday, has won 13 of his last 14 Davis Cup singles rubbers. "I'm still very emotional out there".

"They come straight back from the tournaments and do absolutely everything we ask of them as the coaching staff".

"This doesn't have to end here".

"We've been up two-zero before and ended up losing, so we know it takes three (rubbers) and tomorrow's a new day", United States captain Jim Courier said.

Kyrgios said he was not surprised to see Sam Querrey drafted in to play him after American No.1 Jack Sock had played singles and doubles on the first two days.

A barrage of aces can be expected in the second rubber of Australia's Davis Cup quarter-final against the United States in Brisbane today after Nick Kyrgios was drawn to play John Isner in singles.

The controversial Kyrgios, whose on court behaviour has led to a host of criticism from fellow players, commentators and fans, was the model of decorum and dedication in his two matches.

If Kyrgios can not complete the job it will fall to Thompson in his daunting clash with Isner. I'm going out there and playing the game how it's supposed to be played - and I'm playing hard. The controversial Australian pushed Roger Federer to the brink in Miami last week and he carried that form into Friday's match.

Jim Courier was impressed by Nick Kyrgios´ performances this weekend in Davis Cup.

"I've been looking forward to this tie for a long time now", he said.

Johnson added: "There's no bigger honor than playing for your country".

"It's just a bit of relief".

Isner played well enough to beat just about anybody on the Tour but Kyrgios has now taken his game to increasingly elite levels. "It was a lot of relief to get through".

Cherrybrook's Jordan Thompson celebrates winning a point against the US' Jack Sock in the opening rubber Davis Cup quarter-final in Brisbane.

Thompson's first serve velocity averaged out at 190kmh through the first three sets, with his fastest ball clocking 222kmh, and he moved eagerly at the back of the court.

World No. 16 Kyrgios roared in delight and was mobbed by his teammates after sealing the victory with an ace after just over two hours on Pat Rafter Arena to set up a last four meeting with Belgium. "I'm happy with the guy I have on the other side of the net", he said. "I did not want to commit a lot of double faults and I wanted to return better".

Thompson's career accelerated previous year when he won four Challenger titles, and also managed his first win in an ATP main-draw match, in Sydney.
