The French may well be missing the services of their top two players, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Julien Benneteau, who have both been forced to miss out on the Davis Cup final as a result of injury problems, but their chances of winning their tenth Davis Cup may have been handed a boost by the decisions of the Serbian coach, who has opted to leave Novak Djokovic’s second game until the Sunday of the final, by which time the destination of the trophy could well have been decided.
Although davis cup betting pundits believe it is understandable that the Serbian coach was always going to have a tough time choosing when he was going to use the man who represents his trump card, the fact remains that by the time Djokovic gets the chance to play his second game, the tie could be dead and buried if he has endured a slip-up of any kind in his first match.
However, the thinking behind the Serb coach's decision seems to be focusing upon using Djokovic as the man to help bring the trophy home on Sunday in front of a hugely partisan crowd. If this does happen, then instead of talking about the mistake of risking his best player missing out on playing a competitive game, Serbian fans could be talking about the tactical masterstroke that saw their nation pick up the Davis Cup for the first time.
With tennis still very much floundering in the shadow of football in Serbia, it may just be the case that a Djokovic-inspired victory could be the spark that sees tennis start to take off well and truly in the country.
If this does happen, then davis cup tennis betting pundits may suggest that this wont be Serbia’s only chance to contest a Davis Cup final.
