The first day of the 2016 Davis Cup final is in the books and, as expected, each nation has one point going into the second day. Marin Cilic of Croatia defeated Federico Delbonis of Argentina in five sets, 6-3, 7-5, 3-6, 1-6, 6-2 while Juan Martin Del Potro of Argentina took down Ivo Karlovic of Croatia, 6-4, 6-7(6), 6-3, 7-5.

Play is now guaranteed to go into Sunday as only one of the five points up for grabs will be available on Saturday, were the all-important doubles match will be played. The second day, featuring the doubles match, is set to get underway at 9 a.m. ET and will be broadcast on the Tennis Channel. A live stream will also be available via Tennis Channel Plus.
The Davis Cup final is a first-to-three format, with each win counting as one point. Two more doubles matches are set for Sunday, with the fifth only used if we still have a tie after the doubles match and the preceding singles match.
Saturday’s doubles match is set to be between Ivan Dodig and Franko Skugor of Croatia up against Leonardo Mayer and Guido Pella of Argentina. Substitutions can be made by the team captains if they feel that they are needed for the doubles match. Del Potro or Cilic could be worked in, especially if either isn’t confident they will win the singles match against the other when they play on Sunday.
Below is all you need to watch Saturday’s match.
