Djokovic expects it to be very tight and that Britain will have an advantage in the third and potentially deciding doubles rubber, if it gets that far.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It will be very difficult, tense,&#8217; the 36 year-old told Serbia Sportal. &#8216;If (Dan) Evans plays he is a very awkward player for anyone. However, I believe in our guys.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We also have a lot of choices, maybe not for the doubles, but for the singles. The motivation is present in me, as well as in all the other guys from the national team.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/11\/14\/76428355-0-image-a-3_1697030741542.jpg\" height=\"442\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Novak Djokovic is determined to end his season on a high with David Cup success for Serbia<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/11\/14\/76428357-0-image-a-4_1697030748856.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Djokovic (right) will lead Serbia in a Davis Cup quarter final agains a tough Great Britain side<\/p>\n<p>Djokovic will return to action at the Paris Masters later this month, then play the season-end ATP Finals in Turin before moving on to Malaga.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The cult of the national team must exist among the younger generation and they simply feel the honour and privilege when they play for their country. It&#8217;s the way I grew up and what we cultivated in the past generation.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Djokovic also briefly addressed the recent comments of Rafael Nadal that the Serb was more desperate to end his career with a higher number of big titles than he was.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I have no intention of speaking in a negative light about him or Roger Federer,&#8217; said Djokovic. &#8216;My respect towards them supersedes some negative opinions I might have. Again, that&#8217;s Rafa&#8217;s opinion and I, of course, don&#8217;t agree. I have my opinion, but I won&#8217;t share it as I don&#8217;t want us to go deeper into that.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/tennis\/article-12619175\/Novak-Djokovic-highly-motivated-Serbias-Davis-Cup-quarter-final-clash-Great-Britain-world-No-1-braced-difficult-tie-against-Andy-Murray-Co.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Novak Djokovic is highly &#8216;motivated&#8217;
