"We have good quality and good chances to win", he said. "France are strong... Davis Cup defending champions. But, we will get our chances and we should believe we will use them." Croatia have now beaten the US in all five of their Davis Cup meetings. "I-m very proud of my boys," US coach Jim Courier said. "It was really an exciting day, with a lot of fight." Coric-s victory followed Sam Querrey-s surprise 6-7 2/7, 7-6 7/6, 6-3, 6-4 win over world number six Marin Cilic in Sunday-s first match which hauled the visitors level at 2-2.

"I was more nervous in this match than the first day. I had difficulties to find a rhythm... My game was not at the top level," a visibly unhappy Cilic told reporters. Cilic was warned by chair umpire Carlos Ramos, the same official who issued three code violations to Serena Williams during the US Open final, after slamming his racket to the ground. He received only a warning as it was the first violation of the match.

Both Cilic and Coric had won their singles matches on Friday, before the US cut Croatia-s lead to 2-1 as Mike Bryan and Ryan Harrison beat Ivan Dodig and Mate Pavic in a dramatic doubles rubber on Saturday. Courier-s team were without two top players -- John Isner, the world number 10 who stayed home for family reasons, and the injured Jack Sock.
