Davis Cup Day 1 Predictions

Predicted Winners in BOLD

Marin CILIC vs.  Federico DELBONIS – I think Cilic wins this match and should set the crowd up for a lot of excitement.  How will that momentum carry into the second match is going to be an interesting question.

Ivo KARLOVIC vs. Juan Martin DEL POTRO – JMDP will have to calm the crowd and grab a win for Argentina.  I think JMDP can do this, but Ivo will undoubtedly force many close sets with his big serve.  If Cilic puts Croatia up 1-0 and Karlovic creates a lot of pressure situation, JMDP will have to be at his best to win this match.  I think Delpo will win in 4 or 5 sets, but Argentina’s chances likely hang on this match.  Croatia can win the Davis Cup without this match.
