With Novak Djokovic unable to play for Serbia, the home team face a more difficult task. Stepanek won the opening singles but the suprise came in second singles when Tipsarevic showed great resolve to hold on to a fantastic win again top 10 player Tomas Berdych to level the tie. Game on! This match unfortunately should be a formality. Zimonjic is a currently world number 3 doubles player and a former number one. He has Grand Slam success under his belt and a welath of experience in these type of matches. He will be able to support his partner Troicki who can be erratic at times, but never the less is a decent doubles player with a ranking of 75. If the Czechs had their best doubles players in this tie then it could have been a different story with Dlouhy and Cermak ranked 5th and 16th in the world. However i don't quite no why but they have Hajek and Minar playing together, both with rankings outside the top 400? I guess it is because they wanted some variety in the singles incase they needed it and are only allowed to choose 4 players. The Czechs stand no chance.
PREDICTION:
Serbia to win the doubles
Value Bet - Serbia to win doubles in straight sets
