On November 27, 2016, the Argentine tennis team won its first and only Davis Cup. Led by captain Daniel Orsanic, the team, seeded sixth, defeated Poland, Italy, Great Britain, and Croatia on its way to the title. In the final against Croatia, which Argentina won 3-2, Juan Martín del Potro secured two crucial points, allowing Federico Delbonis to win the decisive fifth match and bring the nation its first title. The journey was marked by memorable victories, including a five-set win over Andy Murray in the semifinals and del Potro's calm and powerful performance in the final to set up Delbonis's clinching victory.
