Borna Coric got Croatia the lead, then De Minaur made it 1-1 and ultimately Mektic and Pavic failed to deliver in the doubles.

A crazy match in the Davis Cup semi-finals as Australia took on Croatia. Borna Coric played a really strong match to take down Thanasi Kokkinakis in two sets with the match being generally close in games but not so much in the final score.

6-4 6-3 was the final score with Croatia taking the lead. Marin Cilic played a really poor match against de Minaur who smashed the Croatian 6-2 6-2 to make it 1-1. A lot of people expected the second one to be a much closer affair but Cilic had one of his bad days.

Croatia felt really confident before the doubles as Mektic and Pavic just played in the ATP Finals doubles final which highlighted their good form. They were supposed to take on Wimbledon champions Purcell and Ebden but Thompson replaced Ebden and it worked.

They dropped the first set but came back to win the next two securing the final for Australia.
