They tried by all means, but the luck of a heart-stopping stuntman was not with them. Serbia It will be really difficult for him to go to the quarterfinals of the Davis Cup 2021. The Balkans had in the doubles in the series against Germany a vital match, their last group stage duel: a victory classified them as group winners. Novak Djokovic was accompanied by Nikola Cacic and both had it really close: after overcoming losing the first set in the tie-break, Nole went into a trance and, accompanied by the skillful tennis of an expert in the field, managed to break Serbia up in the third set. But they did not have an easy partner in front of them, and the experience of Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz it was too much: the end result was 7-6(5), 3-6, 7-6(5). Following Koepfer’s win over Krajinovic, Germany will secure their qualification with a win over Austria tomorrow, while Serbia will try to fight for one of the best seconds. Complicated ballot, since Sweden it already has a better balance than the Balkans. Will we see Novak and company out in the group stage?
Krawietz and Puetz win!
GER d. SRB 2-1
Germany qualifies with a win tomorrow.
Serbia finishes the group 4-2, 9-6, currently behind Sweden (99% qualified).
Spain/Russia and USA should be the biggest threats for Serbia’s qualification.
