Jérémy Chardy quickly found himself in trouble against Borna Coric, in this first Davis Cup final match. The Frenchman despite an attempt to return came up against a wall of pragmatism and serenity on the part of the Croatian.
Jérémy Chardy was not really invited today against Borna Coric. The Frenchman who had never lost in the Davis Cup on clay has just fallen on his heels in this first final match.
2 - 6/5 - 7/4 - 5
Very strong at the service but in trouble in the exchanges, the French still sounded the revolt in the second set, but fell in arms.
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga is going to have the heavy task of fetching the equalizer point in the singles.
