Davis Cup 2024: Where Is Novak Djokovic Now? Will He Don the Serbian Colours Once Again?

Coming into the Australian Open a few weeks back, many, if not all, were hoping that the Serbian Novak Djokovic would be clinching his 11th title at the Open. However, a not-so-sensational performance throughout the tournament saw him bowing out in the semi-finals of the event. Since then, the Serbian has been out of the court. While many were eagerly hoping that he might make it just in time for the Davis Cup, their hopes were shattered yet again.

Novak Djokovic will not be featuring in the Davis Cup squad for their qualifying match. This has made many wonder about the whereabouts of the Serbian legend. Guess what, Serbia’s Davis Cup captain has an answer to this.

Where is the 24-time grand slam winner Novak Djokovic right now?

In an interview, Serbia’s Davis Cup team captain, Viktor Troicki gave his honest opinion when asked about Novak Djokovic. When asked if Novak Djokovic could come to Kraljevo and support the Serbian team from the stands, he suggested that it won’t be possible as the Serbian is enjoying some time with his family.

“I don’t believe he will come, he is in Spain with his family,” said Troicki while talking about Djokovic’s absence from the squad. That now brings us to the question if the Serbian would be able to make his way back into the Serbian team upon returning. Yes, that could certainly be the case.

Djokovic, who would turn 37 this year, plans to play tennis professionally beyond 40 years. Thus, coming into the Davis Cup squad won’t be a difficult task for him. Additionally, the Serbian has also been looking for international glory for a long time now.

So, it would not be wrong to say that Novak Djokovic could don the Serbian colors yet again. While his absence will leave a major void in the Serbian national team, they will be looking to bring out their best performance and land the win in their favor.

Reflecting on them, Troicki suggested that all these youngsters have been in flying form and could produce sensational performances. While talking about Kecmanovic, Troicki said, “He played well at the end of last year, he progressed, worked and trained, it was obvious that he was in shape and that is why, of course, he got the chance to play in Spain, which he used.”

Not only this, he also made his words clear on Lasl Djere while suggesting that they have trained extensively on clay and are ready to start their campaign. “Dušan Lajović and Laslo Đere have already trained extensively on clay and I can truly say that they are ready,” he continued.

Thus, despite Novak Djokovic’s absence the Serbian team will be looking to bring out their best game and land the victory. While Djokovic is currently absent, he could make his return to the team sooner.
