Davis Cup Finale 2018

November 23, 2018 - November 25, 2018 - Frankreich und Kroatien bestreiten das Davis Cup Finale in Lille. Lucas Pouille, Nummer 32 der Welt, führt das französische Team, das seinen Titel aus 2017 verteidigen will und die 11. Krone beansprucht. Kroatien, geleitet von der Nummer 7 der Welt, Marin Cilic, erreichen erst zum dritten Mal das Finale, nachdem sie 2005 die Slowakei geschlagen und gegen Argentinien 2015 verloren haben.

France, captained by Yannick Noah, defeated the Netherlands, Italy and Spain en route to the final, and have selected the experience of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga to complete their five-man team.

Croatia beat Canada, Kazakhstan and the USA to make the showpiece in Lille, and will be relying on Marin Cilic, the 2014 U.S. Open champion and this year’s Australian Open finalist, to lead their attack. Captain Zeljko Krajan has also selected doubles world number 3, Mate Pavic.

The two nations have met twice previously. France beat Croatia in 2004 but the Croatians were victorious in the World Group semi-final in 2016.
