Croatian tennis is off to the Davis Cup Final for the fourth time!
Borna Gojo had a rollercoaster first match win Friday night in Madrid to open up the Davis Cup semifinal round. Gojo beat Serbia’s Dušan Lajović 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 to get Croatia halfway to the Davis Cup Final. World #1 Novak Djoković would make quick work of Marin Čilić in the final singles match; winning 6-4, 6-2 in straight sets.
However, #1 ranked doubles team in the world, Nikola Mektić and Mate Pavić, steamrolled Novak Djoković and Filip Krajinović 7-5, 6-1 in doubles, to book Croatia a spot in the Davis Cup Final on Sunday. They will play the winner of Russia/Germany.
Croatia won the tournament in 2005 and 2018. They lost to Argentina in the 2016 final.
Dinamo is a disaster lately…hopefully they find a good coach.
Never one to give Hajduk props, but big win in Maksimir today. They deserved the win. DZG definitely off lately.
Does Cilic have 1 match left in him?
Apologies
I meant Krajinovic
Mistaken identity at play here hahaha
Krovinovic can suck dick
Peder!
When you think about it, there were 3.5 Croats on the court. Filip Krajinovic is an ethnic Croat from Sombor. Novak we all know has Croatian mother.
Good result, lets hope we can do it in the final. I think Cilic will need to win his single match, we cannot expect Borna Gojo to be beating top 50 players all the time.
Krajinovic trains in Croatia and has Croatian citizenship, and the Serbian media tarred and feathered him for it (accusing him of trying to switch and play for Croatia).
When he first started playing on the ATP tour 6-7 years ago with a first name Filip, I thought straight away that he was Croatian.
Serbs do not have many names Filip ? if any ?
Although Krajinovic represents Serbia, when ever I watch him play I want him to win, unless he is playing against one of our boys.
And maminjo has 🇭🇷 citizenship? Hmm. I doubt it. Prove it. 😊
I burned it. I only have BiH citizenship now.
So you can escape prosecution in Cro 😉
fucking BORNA GOJO baby.. some nobody ranked nowhere has been punching so high above his weight it’s not even funny, what a champ!
2005, 2018 and soon to be 2021 😀
Coric has been out injured for like 20 years sadly, otherwise we’d have this in the bag.
But given our doubles team is #1 this new format is helping us and we might well be champs! Also any day we smash serbs is a good day of course lol!
What happened to Coric? Have not been keeping up.
Shoulder operation six months ago.
They did it!
