Robin Soderling battled back twice from a set down to put Sweden into the quarter-finals with a marathon four-hour win over Max Mirnyi of Belarus.
Soderling produced 28 aces to win 6-7 (8/10), 7-5, 6-7 (8/10), 7-6 (7/3), 6-3 to give Sweden an unbeatable 3-1 lead in the first round tie.
Germany, who beat 2005 champions Croatia 3-2, were indebted to Tommy Haas, who saw off Ivan Ljubicic 6-2, 7-6 (9/7), 6-4 in the crucial first reverse singles.
