The Chilean federation is a shame, for a long time there are internal problems of different areas... The choice of the court was a tremendous mistake. I don't know why they had the stupid idea of hosting the matches in Iquique. 

 

Our players were extremely embarrassed by the situation, but... it's done  what more can we do? 

 

 

 

 

 

The Colombian fed is gonna complain about the referee but I don't see the point, tbh. Chile won, and won well (the shitty conditions played against both sides), but I don't blame Giraldo for giving up the pretense this wasn't a farce. Anyway, good luck in the playoffs.

Muller wasted 3 match points in the final and lost to Karlovic in Newport  He still wait for his first ATP title, today it was his the biggest chance to win, but...

 

Big chance against Ivo on grass? No

Great win against USA. Cilic now has a 6-0 record against Isner and Croatia has a 4-0 Davis Cup record against USA. I really couldn't see Coric beating Sock in his current form, but he proved me wrong.
