| Cilic ready to lead Croatia against India | Cilic listo para liderar a Croacia contra India |
| Former champions Croatia take on visiting India in an intriguing Davis Cup by Rakuten Qualifier and will rely on their 2018 title-winning talisman Marin Cilic in Zagreb | Con la confianza depositada en Marin Cilic, su talismán para el título de 2018, Croacia recibe a India en un intrigante duelo de Qualifiers de la Copa Davis por Rakuten |
| World No.37 Cilic acknowledged he needed to be on top of his game as the injury-hit Croatians take on India at home as they aim to reach their second successive finals, having made a group stage exit at the inaugural new-format tournament last year in the Spanish capital. | Croacia, el equipo campeón de 2006 y 2018, dependerá de Marin Cilic, su jugador mejor ubicado en el ranking, para liderar la carga contra un problemático seleccionado de India en su choque en Zagreb en busca de un puesto en las Finales de la Copa Davis por Rakuten en noviembre. |
| Borna Gojo will make his home debut for Croatia against Prajnesh Gunneswaran in the opening singles rubber on Friday before Cilic locks horns with Ramkumar Ramanathan. | El No. 37 del mundo admitió que deberá estar al más alto nivel de su juego para compensar las ausencias por lesiones en el conjunto balcánico que, como dueños de casa, intenta llegar por segundo año consecutivo a la instancia final. |
| Cilic, the 2014 US Open winner, heaped praise on India as he also looked back on his illustrious Davis Cup career and credited the competition’s new format at the draw ceremony held in a 13th-century chateaux overlooking the Zagreb city centre. | El año pasado, bajo el nuevo formato de la competición, no pudieron avanzar de la instancia de Grupos en Madrid. |
| “I am proud to have had great results in the Davis Cup down the years,” Cilic told a news conference after the draw. | Ivan Dodig, el mejor especialista de dobles, no será de la partida por un problema en el brazo. |
| “I have great memories of it all, most of all winning the Davis Cup in 2018. I always relished playing for my country and this time is no different.” | Tampoco Borna Coric (No. 31), con un problema de ligamentos en una mano. |
| “I hope we will have a fantastic weekend and qualify for the Finals. Personal records don’t matter to me very much, it’s the desire for team success that inspires me.” | Esto, sin dudas, aumenta la presión sobre Cilic en la superficie dura del estadio cubierto de Dom Sportova, en Zagreb. |
| Cilic acknowledged that Croatia, who also won the competition in 2006 and lost to India 3-2 away in 1995 in the only previous meeting between the two sides, face a tough challenge. | Dadas estas circunstancias, Borna Gojo hará su debut en el primer partido del viernes contra Prajnesh Gunneswaran, seguido por Cilic contra Ramkumar Ramanathan. |
| “I have to make sure that I win both my singles because Borna Gojo is making his home debut and it won’t be easy for him. India also have a very good doubles team and we expect no walk in the park.” | El sábado, Franko Skugor, en reemplazo de Dodig, se asociará a Mate Pavic para el dobles frente al binomio legendario Leander Paes y Rohan Bhopanna. |
| Speaking about the competition’s new format, Cilic said: | Cilic reconoció que Croacia, que perdió ante India por 3-2 en 1995 en el único duelo entre las dos naciones, enfrenta en estas Qualifiers un difícil desafío: |
| India, who lost last year’s qualifier to Italy 3-1 at home, will take confidence from the fact that they have won three of their last four ties on hard courts. | "Sus jugadores de individuales son muy sólidos y Gunneswaran, como todo tenista zurdo, puede ser un rival muy incómodo", dijo. |
| Gunneswaran pointed out the Indians, who finished as the competition’s runners-up three times, had a mountain to climb against the home team likely to be galvanised by a passionate home crowd. | “Debo asegurarme de ganar mis dos singles porque Borna Gojo está haciendo su debut y en casa, lo cual no será fácil para él, a lo cual se suma la excelente pareja de dobles de ellos", añadió. |
| “Croatia are a very good team as they have some strong and experienced players. We are going to have to play our best tennis to reach the Finals in Madrid, which would be a dream come true for all of us.” | En tanto India, que fue eliminada el año pasado por Italia por 3-1, llega confiada por sus últimas tres victorias en cuatro rondas disputadas en canchas duras. |
| “I saw Borna play in a Challenger in Bangalore and I actually practiced with him once in Australia, so I know how he plays,” said the world No.122. | “Tendremos que jugar nuestro mejor tenis para llegar a las Finales de Madrid, lo que sería un sueño hecho realidad para nosotros”, dijo Gunneswaran acerca del equipo que tres veces estuvo a solo un paso de levantar la ensaladera de plata. |
