The 20-fold Grand-Slam winner clearly won 6: 3, 6: 2 against the Austrian outsider Dennis Novak on Friday evening in Innsbruck and thus ensured the preliminary decision 2: 0 of the Serbs. Previously, Susan Laconic had prevailed 7: 6 (7: 5), 3: 6, 7: 5 against Austria's Gerald Member. The final double had no importance for the overall victory. On Saturday (16 o'clock / serves) the German men's team meets Serbia. The world ranking third VERY, which Djokovic defeated last weekend in the semi-finals of the ATP Finals, is missing because he decided at the end of the season for the holiday instead of the Davis Cup participation.
