Serbia secured their place in the Davis Cup World Group with a 3-0 victory over Greece in the play-offs, following the success of the Novak Djokovic/Hamad Medjedovic pairing in Belgrade on Sunday. The former No The 37-year-old world number 1 and his 21-year-old teammate won 6-3 3-6 6-3 against Aristotelis Thanos and Petros Tsitsipas, Stefanos’ younger brother, who withdrew.
On Saturday, Miomir Kecmanovic had given Serbia the first point by beating Thanos (6-3 6-3), before “Nole”, the holder of the number of Grand Slam titles (24), sharply doubled the lead against Ioannis Xilas (6-0 6-1).
