Serbia Davis Cup team begin preparations Troicki: We won’t disappoint against Spain Author: T. Dragojevic | 02.03.2009 - 09:55 Serbia team have held their first training sessions ahead of the next weekend ’s Davis Cup tie at Spain. The team assembled to take on the competition’s title holders in the summer resort of Benidorm are Jankovic Tipsarevic, Viktor Troicki and Nenad Zimonjic, while Serbia’s number one Novak Djokovic joins his teammates, head coach Bogdan Obradovic and advisor Nikola Pilic on Monday. The clay-court indoor stadium Terra Mitica was first tested by Troicki and Tipsarevic. The former, the recent winner of the Gemax challenger event in Belgrade and current world’s player 44, says he is ready for a clash against the reigning Davis Cup champions. - “I feel good and ready, what I showed by winning the Gemax. I travelled to Dubai from minus 5 to plus 30 degrees, which affected my performances there and I just couldn’t function properly which resulted in an early departure. Now we have the upcoming tie against Spain. The court is terrific, although the clay has somewhat bigger grains than that of the French Open. I hope once the team is complete we show the kind of performances our fans want to see,” says Troicki. Team coach Bogdan Obradovic has a reason to be happy his players’ achievements of the late. Nenad Zimonjic has won a doubles tournament in Rotterdam together with Daniel Nestor, after which Troicki won the Belgrade challenger, which was all eventually crowned with Novak Djokovic’s win in Dubai. 某人什麼都沒有... - “We still haven’t decided who besides Novak will play the other singles rubber; it will be either Viktor or Janko. The chances of either of the two appearing are fifty-fifty – Troicki’s game is on the rise, while Tipsarevic is on the right way to restore his previous form. Nikola Pilic and myself will be tracking their displays in training and come to our decision. We plan to play Zimonjic and Djokovic in the doubles on Saturday, providing Novak is not too tired from the previous day’s singles match,” says Obradovic. The team coach has praised the organizers and the stadium to host the Davis Cup tie over the forthcoming weekend. - “The court surface is in great condition, and our players are highly motivated. The Spaniards have been wonderful hosts – they are meeting all our needs and the hotel accommodation is excellent,” added Obradovic. Serbia team players will have four days to fine tune their play and the tactical approach to the clash against Spain, who are already in Benidorm and are currently holding one training session a day. http://www.blic.rs/sports.php?id=3973 -- ╭──────╥────────────────────────╮ │██████║ ╭╮ ┐┌╮┌─ ┐ ╭╮┌─┌╮┌╮˙╭╮╭╮ │ │██████║ ├┤ │││├─ │ ╰╮├─├╯│╯│├┤││ │ │██████║ ┘┘ ╯└╯└─ ˙ ╰╯└─┘╰└╯┘┘┘┘┘ │ ╰──────╨───────────────────ψwop875─╯ --
