Britain to face Serbia in Davis Cup Last 8 stage

September 20, 2023

Britain, who topped Group B after their victory over France on Sunday, will face Serbia, after the draw for the Davis Cup Final 8 knock-out stage was announced on Tuesday.

Serbia finished second, behind the Czech Republic, but clinched their place in the Final 8 with a win over Spain.

 

Novak Djokovic beat Alejandro Davidovich Fokina just five days after winning the US Open to help Serbia to a 3-0 win over Spain in Valencia.

Whoever comes out on top between Serbia and Britain will then face the winner of the Italy v Netherlands match in the semi-finals.

Reigning Davis Cup champions Canada will continue their title defence against Finland, who came through as runners-up in Group D after surprise wins over Croatia and the United States, while Canada topped their group ahead of Italy.

The winner of the Canada v Finland tie will take on either the Czech Republic or Australia in the semi-finals.

Australia finished runners-up to Britain.

The Final 8 takes place in Malaga, Spain, and begins on November 21.
