After soccer final, Croatia plays France again in Davis Cup final

First, it was the World Cup soccer final. Now, it’s the Davis Cup.

Croatia will meet France again to decide tennis’ premier team event.

After eight hours of tennis Sunday, Borna Coric ended a sustained comeback bid from the United States by rallying from two sets to one down to beat Frances Tiafoe 6-7 (0), 6-1, 6-7 (11), 6-1, 6-3 in the fifth and decisive match of a topsy-turvy semifinal.

“This is the most special moment of my whole life — by far,” Coric said. “If there were not (fan support), I would lose in the fourth set for sure, because my head was deep in the water.”

Earlier, substitute Sam Querrey had rallied to keep the U.S. alive.
