PARIS, Sept 16 — Novak Djokovic returned to the court just five days after his historic US Open title triumph to lead Serbia into the Davis Cup quarter-finals yesterday, while Andy Murray helped Britain edge past Switzerland.
The 36-year-old won a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam title last weekend with a straight-sets triumph against Daniil Medvedev in the US Open final.“Playing for Serbia, for my country, is something completely different.Djokovic took the opening set against world number 25 Davidovich Fokina with a single break in the eighth game, before battling back from 4-1 down in the second set with a run of five straight games.
“Today is a tough day for me, it’s my Gran’s funeral today,” Murray said after his epic 6-7 , 6-4, 6-4, win over Leandro Riedi at the Manchester Arena.The 36-year-old had only lost three of his previous 35 singles matches in the competition but needed every ounce of skill and competitiveness to see his way past 21-year-old Riedi, who was making his Davis Cup debut.
Britain can secure a last-eight berth if they beat France on Sunday, while even a loss could be enough depending on the result of Saturday’s tie between Switzerland and Australia.
