The season is not finished for Nole. He will lead Serbia in the Davis Cup final against France taking place in Belgrade on 3-5 December.

The tie will be held on an indoor hard court in Belgrade Arena (capacity 15,200).

Besides the quality of his players, Serbia’s captain Bogdan Obradovic is counting on the friendship between Djokovic , Viktor Troicki and Janko Tipsarevic, and the doubles specialist Nenad Zimonjic, who is hugely respected, to pull the team through.

”The friendship within the team is surely the second element that makes it strong…I think the good atmosphere, the energy and the eagerness within the team will lead us to victory in the final,” he said.

The draw will be made on Thursday, December 2, at 12:15 CET.
