The second lot of ATP Cup Quarter-Finals are coming up tomorrow with Serbia against Canada and Belgium versus Spain set to confirm the last four in Australia.

Serbia against Canada is the main order of the day with the two powerhouses aiming to continue their brilliant runs at the ATP Cup.

Canada went 2-1 in Group F falling to Australia but defeating Greece and Germany; while Serbia finished unbeaten in Group A defeating South Africa, France and Chile.

The first singles match is a quality one in prospect as Novak Djokovic takes on Denis Shapovalov and despite the former having four wins over the Canadian last year and Djokovic not dropping a set so far, he will still have that belief.

This is due to victories over Stefanos Tsitsipas and Alexander Zverev and so it could be closer than some think.

The no.2 singles match will see Dusan Lajovic take on Felix Auger-Aliassime with the latter not playing great so far going 1-2 with his only win against a player outside the top 400. Lajovic is the opposite and his victories included a quality one against Lloyd Harris.

Superb Spain set to take on Belgium

Also on the agenda is Spain who will take on Belgium in the other Quarter-Final as the latter face a huge task.

The former eased through Group B winning all three ties, all nine matches played and 90 per cent of the sets they played which even betters Australia.

They will next meet Belgium who only came through as a second place team but had a 6-3 match record and with them winning against Bulgaria, they secured their spot and Great Britain's.

Steve Darcis will face a real battle though when he takes on World No.10, Roberto Bautista Agut who forms a dream team as such with Rafael Nadal.

David Goffin who has lead from the front for Belgium leads their charge when he attempts to beat Rafael Nadal for only the second time in their head to head.

Whatever happens, both matches in tomorrow's Quarter-Finals are must watch as both Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal attempt to fire their team to the Last Four.
