It was a close call for Serbia but ultimately Novak Djokovic and Nikola Cacic were able to send Serbia into the Davis Cup Finals semifinals.
The pair needed to win this final match in order to send Serbia and while dicey at times they were able to do it successfully. They did need three sets out of which neither was particularly close. Each set was dominated by one pair and the first one was especially impressive from the Serbians. Nedovyesov and Golubev looked quite nervous in that opening set not playing well at all and the Serbians ran away with it quickly 6-2.
The 2nd set was much better by the Kazakhstani pairing who applied pressure from the start. It was a very different tactic from the first set and it worked as they were able to take a very early break in the 2nd set. From there they were able to hold it rather easily adding one more to the mix closing it out with 6-2. Djokovic was not happy at all and he showed visible frustration after the loss.

Highly driven and determined Djokovic came out with a vengeance in the 3rd set playing some of the best tennis he played all day long. He created havoc with his return and the Serbians were able to create a break chance which they converted for a 4-2 lead. A huge game happened at 4-3 when Cacic served and he was able to hold his own and the Serbians took a 5-3 lead.
From there they cruised to an easy 6-3 finish to secure the semifinal spot to a loud roar of quite a bit of Serbian fans in the Madrid arena. The victory meant a lot to Djokovic who once again put his country on his back and delivered.

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.
mandoist09-11-2026 - Ironically, Martina became a U.S. Citizen about the same time as the Orange Convicted Felon & Abuser was just beginning on his road to losing all Daddy's Millions!!
mandoist09-11-2026 - "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?
mandoist09-11-2026 - Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??
mandoist08-11-2026 - Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
