Marin Cilic won his singles match and he assisted Ivan Dodig in beating Juan Martin Del Potro and Leonardo Mayer in the doubles match.

Sunday’s coverage of the Davis Cup will be broadcast by the Tennis Channel beginning at 8 a.m. ET. A live stream will be available online at Tennis Channel Plus.
The Davis Cup is a first-to-three format with each win awarding a single point. Two singles matches are followed by one doubles match and then, if necessary, two more singles matches. The best players on each squad, Cilic and Del Potro, won their singles matches against other competition and will play each other in the first of two singles matches on Sunday.
If Del Potro beats Cilic, then it goes to the fifth and final match, which will pit Ivo Karlovic against Federico Delbonis, unless either coach decides to make a change. At this rate, neither Franko Skugor nor Guido Pella will take a place in the finals despite being on the Croatia and Argentina rosters, respectively.
Del Potro leads the head-to-head over Cilic. They have played 10 times, with Del Potro beating Cilic eight times. Cilic hasn’t won since 2011. They also faced each other at the Davis Cup in 2012, when Del Potro comfortably beat Cilic. The last time they played was 2013, when Del Potro beat Cilic in Paris, 6-4, 7-6(3).
