Argentina has had a Davis Cup team since 1921, and in the 62 years it’s competed it’s never won the whole thing. It’s been runner-up four times—in 1981, 2006, 2008 and 2011—and will attempt to avoid that same fate and end its drought this weekend when it takes on Croatia in the Davis Cup final.
The Argentinian team, captained by Daniel Orsanic, is led by Juan Martin del Potro, the ATP’s Comeback Player of the Year. He’ll try to make history alongside teammates Federico Delbonis, Guido Pella and Leonardo Mayer. The Croatian team—consisting of Marin Cilic, Ivo Karlovic, Borna Coric and Ivan Dodig—will have the home-court advantage at Arena Zagreb.
