Kevin Anderson lived up to his role as the key man in the South African team by beating Ivan Dodig in four sets, whilst Marin Cilic dominated Izak Van Der Merwe to level the scores.
With Kevin Anderson lining up alongside Rik De Voest in Saturday’s doubles match, it looks like South Africa are aiming to utilise their star player as much as possible. The Croatian pairing of Antonio Veic and Nikola Mektic have been handed the job of defeating this duo.
The South African team will be the favourites here, though Croatia definitely have a reasonable chance. Anderson and De Voest need to be on song on Saturday, as Cilic and Dodig are both highly regarded players. It seems very likely that at least one of the Croats will win their match on Sunday, so this doubles clash could be decisive.
