Red-Hot Novak Djokovic Hoping For 'Final Push' For Serbia In Davis Cup

Novak Djokovic has won three Grand Slams this year, with an all-time best tally of 24 and clinched his seventh ATP Finals title on Sunday

Novak Djkovic said on Wednesday he is aiming to carry his superb form into the Davis Cup and winning the competition with Serbia this week is one of his "greatest goals". The 36-year-old great has won three Grand Slams this year, with an all-time best tally of 24 and clinched his seventh ATP Finals title on Sunday in Turin, beating both Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. Djokovic and Serbia, who last won the Davis Cup in 2010, face Great Britain on Thursday in the last eight. "It's the last week of the season, so one final push is necessary from each one of us," world number one Djokovic told reporters.

"I couldn't be happier with the way I performed in the semi-finals and finals of Turin, so hopefully I'm carrying this kind of energy and performance level to the Davis Cup."

He continued: "As I said many months ago, actually (at) the beginning of the season, the Davis Cup has been and is one of my greatest goals of this season and always is. Hopefully I will be able to contribute to win."

Djokovic said he loves the Costa del Sol, where his brother lives, calling it "one of the most beautiful places in the world" but was critical of the tournament being held in the same country four years running.

Since the Davis Cup changed format in 2019 the finals have been held twice in Madrid and twice in Malaga.
