"Mount Everest to climb" says Novak Djokovic about winning Davis Cup

Novak Djokovic failed to lead Serbia to another Davis Cup win but it was hardly his fault as the Serbian gave it his all.

It was a very important event for Djokovic who showed a lot of frustration as his nation lost the semifinal tie to Croatia. Ahead of the event Djokovic once again reiterated his commitment to Serbia explaining that the Davis Cup for him is the most important event after the grand slams:

"I don’t know if you have seen it or heard it, but always when I said what are the biggest priorities for me at this stage of my career, I always said it’s Grand Slams and playing for the national team."

Serbia was tied with Croatia at 1-1 before heading into the doubles match but Djokovic and Krajinvoic were easily overmatched by Mektic and Pavic. It was a frustrating loss for Serbia who does not have a doubles specialist since Nenad Zimonjic retired. He summed up his frustration after the match with:

"We tried. It didn't work. But we definitely need to improve our doubles part of the team. We need to have a doubles team that is constantly playing together, otherwise, it's going to be a Mount Everest to climb for us every time we play like this.”
