Argentinian fans go wild with support and happiness

The fans made the Davis Cup final feel like a soccer match.

Published Nov 28, 2016

Argentinian fans had to take a long flight to get to Zagreb for the Argentina vs. Croatia Davis Cup final, but the trip ended up more than worth it.

In an epic battle, leading man Juan Martin del Potro won both his singles rubbers, including a five-set comeback against Marin Cilic, before Federico Delbonis clinched the first Davis Cup title in Argentinian history over Ivo Karlovic.

The fans made the atmosphere feel like that of a soccer match, which was fitting given that retired Argentinian footballer Diego Maradona was in the crowd, going absolutely wild.

The Argentinians waited 116 years, and lost in four finals, before this much-deserved victory.
