Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic set up Britain-Serbia quarter-final clash after Davis Cup heroics
World number one leads Serbia to a 3-2 win over Kazakhstan on Sunday to set up a last eight tie against his great rival Andy Murray and defending champions Britain in July
Novak Djokovic led Serbia to a 3-2 win over Kazakhstan on Sunday to set up a Davis Cup quarter-final against his great rival Andy Murray and defending champions Britain in July.
He is a man of steel, isn’t he?
In Birmingham, England, Britain once again had Murray to thank for victory after the Scotsman posted a 7-5, 7-6 (7-6), 3-6, 4-6, 6-3 win over Kei Nishikori to seal a 3-1 win over Japan.
It was his 14th straight victory in Davis Cup, digging deep in his third match in as many days after coming off a five-week break following the birth of his first child.
It was Nishikori's first loss in 13 Davis Cup matches, a streak stretching back four years.
In Belgrade, Djokovic rallied to beat Mikhail Kukushkin 6-7 (6-7), 7-6 (7-3), 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 in a match lasting almost five hours to get Serbia level at 2-2 against Kazakhstan.
Viktor Troicki swept past Aleksandr Nedovyesov 6-2, 6-3, 6-4 to clinch the win.
