Italy-Croatia: Fognini opens, Seppi against Dodig

Fabio Fognini and Marin Cilic will play the opening match on Friday (14 p.m.). Andreas Seppi and world number 59 Ivan Dodig will then face each other. This is the fourth meeting between the two opponents, the three previous duels all went to Kalterer. Last year Seppi prevailed in both Belgrade and Metz.

Italy's number one will then not be back in action until Sunday when he meets the best Croatian, Marin Cilic. He recently defeated this at the Australia Open in a five-set marathon. However, Cilic is just ahead with five wins in the nine previous meetings.
