“I cannot be more happy with the style I showed during my victory in the semi-finals and final of (the ATP Finals) Torino, and I hope to restore this level and energy in the Davis Cup,” the Serbian said on the eve of facing Britain in the quarter-finals on Thursday in Malaga.
The 36-year-old veteran reiterated that Cass Davis is one of his “biggest goals” this year, “this is the last week of the season, and therefore a final and necessary effort by every one of us.”
The exceptional player, who won three major tournaments in 2024, raising his record tally to 24, confirmed that he finished the season at the top of the world rankings, after the decline in the level of the young Spaniard Carlos Alcaras at the end of the season and his suffering from injuries.
Djokovic regretted that the final round of the Davis Cup, since its system was changed in 2019, has been organized in one country in Spain (twice in Madrid and twice in Malaga). “I have a feeling that the Davis Cup final should be in a different country every year. This is a global competition,” he said. “.
Serbia, led by Dekovic, won the competition title in 2010.
Finland eliminated defending champion Canada 2-1 in the quarter-finals on Tuesday, and the Czech Republic will also play against Australia and Italy against the Netherlands.
