Croatia wins the Davis Cup
Croatia defeated Slovak Republic 3-2 in Slovak Republic
Mario Ancic defeated Michal Mertinak 7-6(1) 6-3 6-4 after two hours 50 minutes in the decisive fifth rubber to win Croatia its first ever Davis Cup by BNP Paribas title.
For Croatia, this is an achievement that will reverberate around the country, and rank alongside or even above its third-place finish at the 1998 soccer World Cup.
Afterwards, as the Croats celebrated ecstatically on court, there was no doubting what becoming the 12th champion nation of this unique event meant to them – and their countrymen, those of whom lucky enough to be in the stadium went wild and let off flares in the stands.
