Serbia will host a match against Argentine in Davis Cup semifinals on September 16-18.
As Argentine team capitan Tito Vazquez noted in an interview on the treshold of the match, “it is obvious that Serbia, being the current champions and undefeated at home, on top of having the No. 1, Novak Djokovic, in the best year of his career, is a difficult rival. Home advantage in Davis Cup is always important and this time will not be any different, no doubt about it.”
“Every match is crucial to us. The five points are important. I need to wait and see in what condition the players get to the tie. I will be able to have a clearer picture after the US Open,” Vasquez stressed.
“I don’t have any doubts that the winner will be Spain. They have to be ready to return the 5-0 that France inflicted on them last year,” the capitain concluded.
Serbia captain Bogdan Obradovic, in turn, stressed that all the players are highly motivated to play for their country and when they get extra energy from the audience, they play even better. “This is why we play great matches at home. Few people can boast to have 20,000 spectators who fanatically cheer for your team,” Obradovic said.
“We have never felt as favorites, and we entered every match with a huge desire to win. This time will be the same situation, along with the maximum respect for the Argentinean national team. They are a very compact team. They have the experienced Nalbandian, who is an excellent DC player. They also have Del Potro, who is good on all surfaces. With Monaco and Chela, they are a remarkable and competitive team,” Obradovic stressed, according to Davis Cup official website.
