Novak Djokovic does not want to be a mere spectator in the tie between Serbia and the Czech Republic on the third and last day of group C of Davis cup. With the pass already tied for the two teams facing the final stage, both playing for first place in group C, which was decided for the Czech Republic after the victories of Jakub Mensik against Dusan Lajovic (6-3 and 6-2) and Jiri Lehecka against Laslo Djere (7-6(7) and 7-5.
He rested in individual matches Djokovic, but not in a double match where participation in the series is added (a minimum number of qualifiers is one of the necessary criteria to compete in the Olympic Games). However, with everything decided and nothing at stake, in an environment with more competitive tension, the Serbian bid farewell to Valencia with a defeat.
The Czechs Tomas Macchac and Adam Pavlasek defeated Djokovic already Nikola Cacic in a very close match in the first two sets and very unbalanced in the final tiebreaker. Through 7-5, 6-7(7) and 10-3 won the Czech Republic to sign a 3-0 in a tie that, against the odds in a group with Serbia and Spain, gave them first place in the group.
Despite this defeat, a lesser evil for ‘Nole’ and just statistics in terms of result, Djokovic achieved his main goal in Valencia. His country is in the final stage of the competition from November 21 to 26 and will be fighting for a second title, after a win with its leader at the helm as far back as 2010.
