Croatia loses Davis Cup points

Madrid (AP): Croatia was penalised points and handed an undisclosed fine because the court used for Davis Cup matches against Brazil failed to meet international standards.

Croatia will lose 2,000 points as part of the Davis Cup Committee's ruling reached in Madrid on September 23, the International Tennis Federation said Thursday. Croatia's victory over Brazil will stand, however.

Croatia returned to the elite World Group with a 4-1 playoff victory over Brazil in the September 19-21 series on an indoor hard court at the Sportski Centar Visnjik stadium at Zadar.
