Roger Federer's coach praises French crowd behaviour after Davis Cup final

Ivan Ljubicic praised Croatia's Davis Cup win over France at the Pierre Mauroy Stadium in Lille. Marin Cilic beat Lucas Pouille in straight sets to secure Croatia’s second-ever Davis Cup title. Cilic beat Pouille 7-6 6-3 6-3 to give them an unassailable 3-1 lead over hosts and defending champions France. “Amazingly proud of our boys. Davis Cup is again in our hands! Also, a huge thank you to the organizers and people in Lille to make everyone feel so welcome. 25.000 people staying for the ceremony after the home team lost is something that I thought I would never experience. Big. Bravo France,” Ljubicic wrote on his official Twitter account. Ljubicic will soon join Federer in the pre-season training in Dubai before going together to the Hopman Cup in Perth.
