Bad start for the home side in Málaga, Spain trailing 1-0 to Croatia in the quarterfinals of the 2022 Davis Cup Finals. Borna Coric defeated Roberto Bautista Agut 6: 4, 7: 6 (4) after 1:56 hours.

So the hopes of the home crowd are resting on Pablo Carreno Busta in the second individual, who, however, has a tough chunk ahead of him with Marin Cilic. In a crucial doubles match, the visitors could count on world-class duo Nikola Mektic and Mate Pavic, while Spain line up with Marcel Granollers and Carreno Busta.

The semi-finals are waiting for the winning nation Australia, which beat the Netherlands 2-0 yesterday.

Here is the draw at a glance.
