Davis Cup final 2016 live stream: Time, TV schedule and how to watch Day 1 online

The 2016 Davis Cup final is set to get underway on Friday as Croatia plays host to Argentina from Arena Zagreb. Captains Zeljko Krajan and Daniel Orsanic have made their nominations, with Marin Cilic and Juan Martin del Potro headlining their squads.

Five matches will be played in a first-to-three format. Two singles matches are played on Friday and Sunday, with a doubles match in between on Saturday. Every match gives a team one point, and each match goes to five sets. Friday’s session will begin at 5 a.m. ET and will be broadcast on the Tennis Channel. Live streams will be available via Tennis Channel Plus.

Cilic will be joined by Ivo Karlovic, Ivan Dodig and Franko Skugor for Croatia. Argentina will have Del Potro, Federico Delbonis, Guido Pella and Leonardo Mayer.

Currently, Cilic is expected to face Delbonis and Karlovic will face Del Potro on Day 1. Then the doubles match currently has Dodig and Skugor taking on Mayer and Pella, though substitutions can be made and players can pull double-duty if the coaches think it’s the right move for the team.

On Sunday, Cilic will face Del Potro and Karlovic will face Delbonis, though these matches are also subject to change depending on the coaches’ decision-making. It will be interesting to see what happens when Cilic faces Del Potro. The two met in the Davis Cup back in 2012, and Del Potro dominated that matchup.

Argentina took down the 2015 winners, Great Britain, in the semifinal stage, while Croatia moved through both the United States and France on their way to the finals. Croatia last won in 2005.
