DAVIS CUP

Del Potro's stunning lob that launched Davis Cup comeback

Trailing 2-0 against Marin Cilic, the Argentinean played an amazing tweener-lob to start his comeback, and went on to take the next three sets.

Del Potro's stunning lob that launched Davis Cup comeback

Argentina lifted their first Davis Cup title after Juan Martín Del Potro and Federico Delbonis won Sunday's reverse singles to complete the South American nation's spectacular comeback in a 3-2 victory over hosts Croatia in the final.

Del Potro was two sets down against world number six Marin Cilic but recovered to triumph 6-7, 2-6, 7-5, 6-4, 6-3 to take the tie to the decisive rubber.

Del Potro, who described Argentina's maiden Davis Cup triumph as "the best moment of my career," launched his comeback on the back of this spectacular recovery shot... a tweener-lob that defied the 6ft 6in Cilic.
