Cilic to miss Croatia's Davis Cup tie against Serbia

The U.S. Open champ is out with a right shoulder injury.

Published Mar 02, 2015

KRALJEVO, Serbia (AP) — Marin Cilic has failed to recover from injury and will miss Croatia's Davis Cup tie against Serbia next weekend.

Croatia team captain Zeljko Krajan said Monday, ''We had expected a miracle, but Cilic is not ready for five-sets matches.''

U.S. Open champion Cilic has not played this season because of a right shoulder injury.

In his absence, teenager Borna Coric leads a Croatia team that includes Mate Delic and Marin Draganja. Serbia will be led by top-ranked Novak Djokovic in the match that starts Friday in the central Serbian town of Kraljevo. Viktor Troicki returns for Serbia after a one-year doping suspension

The last time Serbia played Croatia was in an away tie in 2010, when it won 4-1.
