I&#8217;m motivated by Grand Slams and playing for the national team. I&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;t know if I will ever play here again, so I invite everyone to come and support us,&#8221;<\/strong> Djokovic said.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo: Profimedia<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Novak will compete for Serbia during the upcoming weekend in the Davis Cup World Group I tie against Greece, in Belgrade.
