In the semi -finals of the 2021 Davis Cup, Croatia created a great earthquake when defeating Novak Djokovic's Serbia. However, in the final, unexpectedly did not happen. Before the mighty Russia, Croatia had to receive defeat after only 2 single matches.
At the first competition, Andray RubleV continued to represent Russia. On the other side of the battle line, Borna Gojo was still trusted by Croatia. At this year's Davis Cup, Gojo is one of the most impressive players. Despite the modest ranking of 281 ATP, Croatia's player defeated Popyrin, Sonego and Lajovic in turn in previous rounds.
Entering the match against RubleV, Gojo also caused quite a lot of difficulties for the opponent. However, with superior level, RubleV still knows how to shine at the right time. He won the first break in game 7 and finished the set with victory 6-4.
Sang Set 2, Gojo continues to show his impressive performance in this year's tournament. The Croatian player played fairly with RubleV and created an extremely attractive chase.
Coming to Game 12, the two players drew 6-6 when successfully defending all the serve games, thereby having to enter the choking tie-break series. Here, everyone has 2 mini breaks, but RubleV is still more brave at the decisive moment to win 7-5 final.
Leading 1-0, Russia confidently entered the 2nd men's match. His opponent in this match is Marin Cilic (class 30 ATP).
Even in Set 1, Cilic has caused many difficulties for Medvedev. Just like the previous 2 matches, the two players play firmly and successfully defend all their serve games. The tie-break series is therefore used. Here, Medvedev defeated Cilic with a 9-7 close score, thereby leading 1-0.
Set 2, everything becomes a lot easier with Medvedev. The world's No. 2 player soon won the Break in Game 4 and then took 4-1. Coming to Game 8, he once again successfully broke the opponent's gaming game and ended the set of matches with 6-2 gap.
In the end, Russia defeated Croatia 2-0 and officially crowned the Davis Cup 2021 championship. This is the first time in 14 years, Russian tennis has just won the throne in this tournament.
