Serbia, Czechs are loaded for Davis Cup final

Published on: 

Host Serbia and the defending champion Czech Republic picked their best teams on Tuesday for the Davis Cup final at Belgrade Arena next week.

Novak Djokovic, 5-0 in the cup this year, will lead fellow Serbs Janko Tipsarevic and the likely doubles duo of Nenad Zimonjic and Ilija Bozoljac.

The Czechs chose Tomas Berdych and Radek Stepanek, who played all five matches when they beat Spain 3-2 in last year's final in Prague. lukas Rosol and Jan Hajek were also in the Czech squad for the Nov. 15-17 final.

The Czechs were in the final for the third time in five years. Serbia was back at the same court where it won its only cup in 2010.

Tipsarevic is struggling with a leg injury. "We will know Janko's condition in two, three days, when he finishes treatment," Serbia coach Bogdan Obradovic said.
