Karlovic shares 'heroic' Davis Cup picture before loss

The Croats would end up falling to Argentina in the deciding rubb

Published Nov 28, 2016

Ivo Karlovic must have been feeling extra powerful heading into Davis Cup Final weekend.

The Croat posted a photo on Instagram of himself and team members Marin Cilic and Borna Coric during Saturday’s matches against Argentina, comparing the team to a trio of Marvel’s Avengers.

Unfortunately, even superheroes fall short sometimes: Karlovic lost both of his singles matches, and Coric was replaced by Franko Skugor due to injury.

Cilic did win his singles rubber, and partnered with Ivan Dodig for a doubles win against Juan Martin Del Potro and Leonardo Mayer, meaning that when Karolovic's photo was making the social rounds, Croatia was leading 2-1.

On Sunday, Cilic lost his grip on a two sets to love lead against Del Potro, and Karlovic's fell to Federico Delbonis in straight sets, giving Argentina its first Davis Cup title in history.
