Argentina win the 2016 Davis Cup after defeating Croatia 3-2 in the Final

[Muhammad10]

Marin Cilic beat Federico Delbonis in five sets in the opening match of the final to give Croatia the lead.

Del Potro is currently a set up against Ivo Karlovic, needing a victory to draw Argentina level.

Karlovic saves two set points to win the second set and make it 1-1. It's not looking like an easy match for del Potro.

Argentina draw level thanks to del Potro. Karlovic ran out of steam by the looks of it.

Del Potro to win another meaningful trophy after USO 09 ?

What an epic fightback to come back from two sets down!

It seems del Potro always does it the hard way, but he's done his part and now, it's up to Delbonis to make the decider against Karlovic a memorable one for Argentina.

Delbonis takes the first set of the decider. Karlovic has looked one-dimensional so far.

To be fair to Karlovic, he is 37 years old. Not sure how much gas he has left in the tank...

What a comeback season it would be if Del Potro could win the Davis Cup. I like Cilic too but I hope for Delpo's sake Argentina win the Davis Cup. Del Potro despite have a 20% backhand has played top 10 tennis for most of the season and I expect him to comeback into top 10 next season.

Impressive composure defending break points displayed by Delbonis.

My God Karlovic is the worst returner ever. Congrats to Argentina and especially Del Potro
