Sam to Face Novak Djokovic in Davis Cup Match in Belgrade
March 04, 2010

One of the worlds greatest nations in Davis Cup by BNP Paribas takes on one of the newest entries in the competition this weekend at the imposing Beogradska Arena in Belgrade. The USA, winner of this amazing championship 32 times, the last being in 2007, will face Serbia which first played the event in 1995 and has been in the World Group since 2008, for the very first time.

Isner makes his debut

Opening the tie on the red clay court will be Viktor Troicki and John Isner, who is making his Davis Cup debut. Their only previous meeting was last year in Bangkok on an indoor hardcourt when Troicki won in straight sets. Following that match will be world No. 2 Novak Djokovic against Sam Querrey, who has had a Davis Cup baptism of fire. On his debut he played Rafael Nadal in Spain and now he has got Djokovic away.

Djokovic and Querrey have met twice before and the Serb has won on both occasions, the last time on clay in Monte Carlo in 2008.

Djokovic on Sam:

Since we played the last time Sam is a much better quality player and he has the skills and quality to be in the Top 20.He has won against (Andy) Roddick and some other top players and this is Davis Cup so you never know what to expect, it is unpredictable. Its going to be a tough one but hopefully with the support of the crowd we can get two wins on the first day.

The full draw is as follows:

Friday

Viktor Troicki (SRB) v John Isner (USA)
Novak Djokovic (SRB) v Sam Querrey (USA)

Saturday

Janko Tipsarevic/Nenad Zimonjic (SRB) v Bob Bryan/Mike Bryan (USA)

Sunday

Novak Djokovic (SRB) v John Isner (USA)
Viktor Troicki (SRB) v Sam Querrey (USA)
