03/06/2010 - Varazdin, Croatia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Croatia holds an insurmountable 3-0 lead over visiting Ecuador in their best-of-five first-round Davis Cup matchup and has advanced to the quarterfinals in July.

The Croats officially eliminated Ecuador on Saturday when its towering doubles pairing of Marin Cilic and Ivo Karlovic handled an Ecuadoran brothers tandem of Nicolas Lapentti and Giovanni Lapentti, 7-6 (7-3), 6-3, 7-5. Croatia originally had Ivan Dodig and Antonio Veic scheduled for the doubles encounter.

Croatia will meet the Serbia-United States victor in the round of eight.

On Friday here in Varazdin, the 6-foot-10 Karlovic got the hosts going by sneaking past Nicolas Lapentti 6-2, 5-7, 6-7 (2-7), 6-3, 6-4 and the rising 6-foot-6 world No. 9 Cilic made it 2-0 Croatia by peppering Giovanni Lapentti 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 on the indoor hardcourt at Gradska Sportska Dvorana.

Croatia, which is being captained by Goran Prpic, captured its lone Davis Cup title in 2005. The heavy underdog Ecuador, in the World Group for the first time in nine years, is captained by Raul Viver.
