Serbia ready to bump Aussies

From David Vujanovic in Belgrade

September 18, 2007

SERBIA'S growing legion of tennis fans have a rare chance to roar on their fast-rising stars this week when Novak Djokovic spearheads his Davis Cup team against Australia.
World No.3 Djokovic's Serbia is confident of banishing Australia - the second-most successful country in the Davis Cup - from the elite stages of the competition for only the second time in its history.
"I'm optimistic because of the results that players from our squad have achieved in recent times on the international scene,'' the 20-year-old said ahead of the Belgrade tie.
Djokovic has gone from strength to strength in 2007 along with fellow Serbs Janko Tipsarevic, Nenad Zimonjic, Viktor Troicki and, in the women's game, world No.3 Jelena Jankovic and No.6 Ana Ivanovic.
His rewards have been ATP titles in Adelaide, Miami, Estoril and Montreal, where he became the first player for 13 years to beat the world's three top-ranked players in the same event.
The emergence of Djokovic, Jankovic and Ivanovic in particular has been all the more remarkable for a country that lacks the resources to train and support new talent, or even host any tournaments of significance.
In what is expected to be the highest attended non-final in Davis Cup history, Serbia hopes to avenge the 5-0 trashing Australia handed it the last time they contested at the competition's world group stages in 1991.
That humiliating defeat under the flag of Yugoslavia was followed by a three-year ban imposed as part of sanctions against Belgrade for its part in the wars that shattered the communist federation.
Victory therefore against Australia before a sell-out crowd of almost 20,000 in the capital this weekend would do much to further raise the profile of the game in the Balkan country.
"We haven't been in the strongest group over the past 15 or 20 years, since the collapse of Yugoslavia,'' said Djokovic.
"There will be psychological pressure on me as the third-ranked player in the world, Ziminjic as the fifth player in doubles, and on Tipsarevic,'' the Serbian No. 2 singles player said.
"We're favourites and we've made the necessary preparations we need for victory.''
Australia has conceded it is the underdog up against the Djokovic-inspired Serbs on a clay court surface that was laid only last week inside the massive Beogradska Arena.
The 28-time champion will be at full strength with a squad made up of former world No.1 Lleyton Hewitt, Chris Guccione, Peter Luczak and Paul Hanley.
Serbia has at its disposal the experience of Nikola Pilic, the former Yugoslav player who became the first captain to win the Davis Cup with two different nations - Germany in 1988, 1989 and 1993, and Croatia in 2005.
"We're playing a very important tie. We have to play very well against Australia,'' said the Munich-based Croat who has been brought on board to advise Serbia captain Bogdan Obradovic.
"We are favourites on paper, but it won't be easy to win.''

Momčilo Bajagić sa Novakom Đokovićem i ostalim najboljim srpskim teniserima snima himnu Dejvis kup reprezentacije Srbije.Novak Đoković i Momčilo Bajagić postaće novi dubl partneri, ali umesto reketa, u ruci će držati mikrofone. Poznati roker i treći teniser sveta snimiće danas u Bajaginom studiju buduću himnu tenisera, koja će biti obrada velikog hita „220 u voltima". Noletu i Bajagi pomagaće i ostali Dejvis kup reprezentativci - Nenad Zimonjić, Janko Tipsarević, Boris Pašanski, Viktor Troicki...
Iza cele ove priče stao je provereni tim producentske kuće Džuboks koja je između ostalog tvorac grupe Flamingosi, a za dve nedelje snimiće se i visokobudžetni spot pod pokroviteljstvom RTS-a. Plan je da i teniseri kao trenutno najbolji predstavnici srpskog sporta u svetu dobiju svoju himnu. Posle niza konsultacija Bajaga je svoju kultnu pesmu „220 u voltima" preradio, zamenivši neke reči teniskim terminima.
U kratkoj izjavi za Press Momčilo Bajagić potvrdio je da užurbano radi na pripremi budućeg teniskog hita.
