Dominik Koepfer | This 27-year-old German tennis player is the best ranked of the German team. He is ranked number 54 in the world and has managed to reach the round of 16 at the US Open 2019 and has had outstanding participations as it was in the Rome Masters 2020, reaching the quarterfinals.

Novak Djokovic | The number one of the ATP ranking is undoubtedly the player to follow not only in Serbia but also in this Davis Cup. He is the leading player of his national team and will be looking for revenge for last year, when they lost in the semifinals against Russia.

Jan-Lennard Struff, Dominik Koepfer, Peter Gojowczyk, Kevin Krawietz, Tim Puetz

Novak Djokovic, Filip Krajinovic, Dusan Lajovic, Laslo Djere, Miomir Kecmanovic.

On the other hand, the German team will be without its star player, Alexander Zverev, and will be looking for a surprise against the favorites of the group. Germany has not yet participated in this Davis Cup, so they will have their opening match this day against Serbia.

The Serbian national team looks like the favorite of the group after having in its ranks none other than Novak Dkojovic. The Serbs beat Austria, deprived of their star player Dominic Thiem in their first Davis Cup match, thanks to a hard-fought victory by Dusan Lajovic followed by an exhibition by Nole.

The Serbia vs Germany match will be played at the Olympia-Halle, in Innsbruck, Austria. The kick-off is scheduled at 10:00 pm ET.

On this day, Serbia and Germany face each other in this 'Tennis World Cup'. The Davis Cup is an international tennis competition organized by the International Tennis Federation and, unlike most international tournaments, the Davis Cup does not involve individual players, but national teams composed of several players designated by their national sports federation.

My name is Silvia Hoyos and I will be your host for this game. We will provide you with pre-game analysis, roster updates, and news as it happens live here on VAVEL.
