Davis Cup, Novak Djokovic sends message to Italy

Novak Djokovic throws down the gauntlet

On the sidelines of his success against Cameron Norrie, which gave Serbia the decisive point to beat Great Britain and join Italy in the Davis Cup semifinals, Novak Djokovic was quick to issue a challenge to the Azzurri and Jannik Sinner in particular.

"I am glad we will play against Italy,” Nole said, “it will be a beautiful challenge. I saw Jannik Sinner today, he played very well. On Saturday I am convinced that it will be a great match.

Djokovic and Sinner faced each other at the very recent ATP Finals in Turin twice: in the group stage è it was the South Tyrolean who got the better of them, at the end of three hard-fought sets, while in the very final the Serb brought all his experience, as well as his talent, to bear, snatching the victory in two game fractions.
