Argentina completed a 5-0 whitewash in their Davis Cup semi-final against Australia on Sunday.
Argentina, who wrapped up the tie on Saturday when they took a decisive 3-0 lead and will meet Russia in Moscow in the final in December, won the first of Sunday's reverse singles when Agustin Calleri thumped doubles specialist Paul Hanley 6-0 6-3.
The hosts were awarded a walkover in the final rubber when Australia said that none of their eligible players were fit to play.
Tennis Australia said Lleyton Hewitt and Mark Philippoussis were ruled out due to knee and back injuries respectively while Wayne Arthurs picked up an Achilles problem during Saturday's doubles.
