Davis Cup begins with upsets - Croatia, Italy face losses

The Hindu  

Croatia's hopes of defending its Davis Cup title took a huge early blow as it was beaten 3-0 by Russia in Madrid on Monday. Crowned champion a year ago, Croatia's chances of even progressing from the first stage in the 2019 Finals already look remote – with Rafael Nadal's Spain still to play in Group B. Croatia took on Russia on centre court following the opening ceremony in a match-up that was hindered by key withdrawals ahead of the tournament.

Russia dealt with the absence of its number one in far more convincing fashion than Croatia, though, with Borna Gojo comfortably eased out 6-3 6-3 by Andrey Rublev in the first of three contests.
