| | Other Vonn wins World Cup super-combined title TARVISIO, Italy (UPI) -- Lindsey Vonn of the United States clinched the World Cup women's super-combined title Friday by taking second in the season finale at Tarvisio, Italy.
Vonn finished second to Tina Maze of Slovenia Friday but pushed her season point total to 220 points, eight points better than Maze and 15 points ahead of Germany's Maria Riesch.
Maze's combined winning time of 2 minutes, 13.54 seconds was a mere 0.018 second better than Vonn. Riesch took third Friday with a 2:14.09.
"Super combined titles are not easy to win because there are only three races so you can't make any mistakes," said Vonn.
Vonn led after the downhill leg of the event but Maze captured the slalom.
"I knew that it was really close with the points and I knew I had to ski a great slalom run to get the title," Vonn said. "I don't think it was my best slalom run, but I was aggressive the whole way and that was my goal."

| | Tennis Capdeville wins Davis Cup marathon match SANTIAGO, Chile (UPI) -- Paul Capdeville posted a five-set win Friday that pulled Chile into a 1-1 tie with the United States in a first-round Davis Cup series.
Andy Roddick had given the Americans the lead with a 6-2, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory over Nicolas Massu. It took Capdeville more than 4 hours to even the best-of-five series with a 6-7 (5-7), 6-7 (2-7), 7-6 (7-3), 7-6 (7-5), 6-4 decision over John Isner.
Capdeville recorded the lone break of the match in the ninth game of the fifth set and then served out. Between them, Isner and Capdeville were 1-of-19 on break-point chances as they won 72 percent of the points on serve.
Isner had 38 aces and 114 winners in the match but also amassed 96 unforced errors.
Roddick's 2-hour, 49-minute battle was routine in comparison. He dropped serve just once and had 75 winners against 40 unforced errors.
The United States will send out the world No. 1 doubles team of twin brothers Bob and Mike Bryan Saturday against Chileans Jorge Aguilar and Massu.
Roddick goes against Capdeville in the first of Sunday's two reverse singles matches with Isner and Massu to meet in the final match.
Chile and the United States are playing for a Davis Cup quarterfinals slot against the winner of a series between Belgium and Spain. Spain is ahead 2-0 in that series.
