Donna Vekic holds off Carle as Croatia lead Argentina at United Cup

PERTH: Donna Vekic defeated Maria Lourdes Carle 6-0, 6-4, while Borna Coric needed more than two hours to beat Francisco Cerundolo to give Croatia a 2-0 lead over Argentina at the United Cup, here on Saturday. Following Vekic on RAC Arena was her teammate Coric, who came through an equally tough 7-5, 6-4 battle against Francisco Cerundolo to open up a 2-0 lead for Croatia.

Croatia can clinch the tie on Sunday when Petra Martic takes on Argentine's Nadia Podoroska in Perth. Borna Gojo then faces Federico Coria. If Argentina wins both matches, a mixed doubles encounter will decide the winner. IANS
