We see Franko Skugor and Mate Pavic. We don’t see Marin Cilic (who pulled out) – or captain Zeljko Krajan.
The issues are laid out in a story in the Spanish newspaper Marca.

The players object to the captain’s share coming out of theirs. And Karlovic feels shortchanged on the share offered to him.
