MADRID : Borna Gojo beat Dusan Lajovic 4-6 6-3 6-2 to give Croatia a 1-0 lead over rivals Serbia in their Davis Cup semi-final on Friday and put them in the driving seat to reach Sunday's showpiece.
Ranked 279th on the ATP Tour, Gojo pulled off another shock Davis Cup win as he overpowered world number 33 Lajovic after beating 27th-ranked Lorenzo Sonego in Croatia's 2-1 win over Italy in the quarter-finals. Gojo raced into a 3-0 lead in the second set and having broken serve to edge ahead 4-2 after Lajovic hit back, he levelled the scores thanks to a big serve and stinging baseline shots which kept Lajovic on the back foot.
"I slipped up in the opening set after I was 4-2 and 40-0 up and got a little bit down on myself, but the team and the fans picked me up and I managed to play better in the other two sets," Gojo said in an on-court interview.
