Nestor, Pospisil drop Davis Cup doubles match to hand Croatia 2-1 edge
OSIJEK, Croatia — Canada’s Daniel Nestor and Vasek Pospisil looked to be in total control of their Davis Cup doubles match Saturday.
But a strong Croatian rally turned the rubber around, handing the home team a 2-1 lead in the first-round World Group tie.
Toronto’s Nestor and Vancouver’s Pospisil took a two-set lead and were up a break in the third before Marin Cilic and Ivan Dodig stormed back to win 2-6, 3-6, 6-4, 7-5, 6-2.
“This is definitely a hard loss to process,” said Pospisil.
