Novak will compete for Serbia during the upcoming weekend in the Davis Cup World Group I tie against Greece, in Belgrade.
Draw has been made for the clash that will take place in Aleksandar Nikolic Hall on September 14-15.
Miomir Kecmanovic will open Saturday competition against Aristotelis Thanos. Match between Novak Djokovic and Ioannis Xilas (ATP no.770) will follow after.
Sunday schedule begins with doubles. Hamad Medjedovic and Novak Djokovic will take on Petros Tsitsipas and Demetris Azoides. Two singles encounters will follow: Novak Djokovic vs Aristotelis Thanos and Miomir Kecmanovic vs Ioannis Xilas.
“Everything is great so far. I’m motivated by Grand Slams and playing for the national team. I’m glad that I am still at the disposal of Viktor Troicki, whom I have known since childhood. Besides the gold medal and the first Wimbledon title, I would single out that winning Davis Cup in 2010. Because, when you play for your country, you have teammates on the bench, a coach, support from the stands. The format is such that we don’t have many opportunities to play at home. The last time I played in front of my fans was exactly seven years ago and I don’t know if I will ever play here again, so I invite everyone to come and support us,” Djokovic said.
The teams that win in Group I will book their place in the 2025 Davis Cup Qualifiers, from where they will be one victory away from the Davis Cup Finals.
