Raonic comes back, Australia up 2-0; Davis Cup Recap

Canadian Milos Raonic didn't want to put his country down 2-0 going into the doubles rubber. With the help of the Canadian bandwagon that traveled across the Atlantic, Milos Raonic went on to win 5-7, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 10-8.

Borna Coric from Croatia (The US Open Junior Champion) lost a tough match to Andy Murray 6-3, 6-0, 6-3.

The NCAA Champion from Ohio State Blaz Rola (Slovenia) won his match in the Europe/Africa Group 1 backdraw, defeating Rik de Voest 6-1, 6-4, 6-4.

Without Jerzy Janowicz, Australia has a commanding 2-0 lead over Poland in Warsaw.
