Novak Djokovic came, saw and won - at least once in the first Davis Cup finals encounter in Innsbruck - against the hosts from Austria, who after a narrow opening game between Gerald Melzer and Dusan Lajovic ended up 0: 3- Had to swallow defeat. The world number one contributed a clear two-sentence win against Dennis Novak.
In between, the industry leader also had time to comment on the current situation of the Davis Cup format in general: “I was in favor of a change, but I didn't like the format with only one host country for 18 nations. I like that there are three different countries now. Why not any more? Why not six different countries as hosts per group? "
Focus on money or tradition? Or both?
That his homeland means a lot to the Serbs has been seen at several times and in many places in the last 18 years of his professional life, which is why he is always very motivated and inspired to play for his country. He always tries to play because he loves his country and likes to play for these colors. He also misses team competitions as an individual athlete.
As laola1.at also reports, the Djoker also asks himself the legitimate question of whether one only thinks about the financial growth of the event in the future: “Do you follow money or tradition or do you find a balance between these two? I'm in between. You have to respect history and stick to the things that make the competition recognizable. "
