UPDATE 2-Tennis-Spain ease past Peru to reach Davis Cup quarters

(adds more quotes)

LIMA, Feb 9 (Reuters) - Spain secured a straight-sets victory in the doubles on Saturday to take a winning 3-0 lead over Peru and a place in the Davis Cup quarter-finals.

Feliciano Lopez and Fernando Verdasco overcame Peru's Luis Horna and Ivan Miranda 6-3 6-4 7-6, holding off a spirited comeback in the third set to clinch the tie.

"We played a very complete game," Lopez told reporters. "It was a very balanced contest."

Horna, Peru's leading player, was struggling with the arm injury which kept him out of his opening singles match on Friday in his country's first experience of qualifying for the Davis Cup world group.

"We did well considering this was the first time we made it this far," Horna said.

Spain will play Germany or South Korea in the last eight.

"We did not think the result would be 3-0 but when Horna did not play yesterday in the singles it gave us an advantage," Verdasco said.
