Viktor Troicki, captain of the Serbian Davis Cup team, officially announced the call-up of the Serbian players who will travel to Chile for the first round of the team competition. Among them are Hamad Medjedovic, Dusan Lajovic, Ognjen Milic, and the twins Ivan and Matej Sabanov, but Novak Djokovic is not listed. The former player explained the reasons in statements collected by SportsKlub.
"It's an extremely inconvenient date for him. We all hope he performs well and goes far in the Australian Open. It wasn't realistic to expect him to fly to Chile from Melbourne immediately after the exhausting Grand Slam to change surfaces and be with us this time," Troicki confirms ahead of a tie that will take place between February 6 and 8. The winner will face Spain in the playoffs for a spot in the 2026 Davis Cup Finals next September.
