18.20 The British born in 2001 has risen in the ATP rankings, once again reaching the top 60 in the world, after dropping out of the top 100 following physical problems.
18.15 National anthems in progress, remember that for the British this is an inside or outside match, remembering that Novak will take the field afterwards Djokovic e Cameron Norrie.
18.10 In a few minutes the first singles match between Kecmanovic and Draper will begin, with the British clear favourite.
Good afternoon friends of OA Sport and welcome to the Live broadcast of the first singles of the highly anticipated match between Serbia and Great Britain. Miomir should be on the field Kecmanovic e Jack Draper.
It just ended with a great Italian victory 3rd quarter final of the Davis Cup Final-8 in Malaga. Now we need to understand who the Italian national team will face on Saturday in the semi-finals, whether Novak’s Serbia Djokovic or coach Leon Smith’s Great Britain. In the first singles the British start as favourites, were it not for the fact that Draper ended the season in a super way, beating the rich challenger from Bergamo and surrendering in the final of the ATP 250 in Sofia. Surprisingly, Serbia fields Miomir Kecmanovic, perhaps to keep Djere or Lajovic fresh for the decisive double.
It’s really difficult to indicate a favorite team, given that in all likelihood we will go to the decisive double here too, as in all 4 matches of these days. At that point, Great Britain could rely on two specialists like Joe Salisbury e Neal Skupski, rather than pairing Draper with one of the two, presumably the second, champion of the ATP Finals a few days ago in Turin. The question is: will Novak Djokovic be able to take his Serbia to the semi-finals by making the difference in doubles? What Jannik showed Sinner in the doubles just concluded it would be in his favor, however we will see how this tie will turn out.
There are no precedents, since the only matches played concern Yugoslavia. All that remains is to wish you a good continuation with the Live broadcast of the first single between Jack Draper it’s Miomir Kecmanovic, first act of the Davis Cup quarter-final between Serbia and Great Britain.
