Djokovic arrived in Spain, just three days after defeating Daniil Medvedev in the final, to rejoin his Serbian Davis Cup squad for training ahead of the upcoming Davis Cup Finals.

He had already etched his name into the record books with his latest Grand Slam victory. He is planning to shift his emphasis to representing Serbia in the Davis Cup, in a magnificent demonstration of tenacity and dedication to his country’s tennis objectives.

Recognizing the difficulties he encounters owing to the compressed schedule, Djokovic emphasized the necessity of teamwork in the Davis Cup format. He added that selecting the correct lineup is critical, noting that they recently won 3-0. Djokovic emphasized the importance of each point, recalling how they almost missed qualifying last year owing to a single set of points. He highlighted his eagerness to contribute, even if it was only a single point in singles, and expressed his excitement for the tournament.

Despite being mindful of the physical toll of his recent Grand Slam victory and the short time for recovery, Djokovic emphasized his steadfast commitment to both the Grand Slams and the Davis Cup. He made it clear that he will continue to represent Serbia in international tournaments.
