Djokovic, leader of a Serbia that has its best possible team

On Monday the members of the 18 teams that will compete in the Davis Cup Finals in Madrid, Innsbruck and Turin from November 25 to December 5 were announced. Hispaniola was one of the first federations announced by his team, which will be made up of Pablo Carreño, Roberto Bautista, Carlos Alcaraz, Marcel Granollers and Feliciano López, the top three in the ranking and two consummate doubles specialists. The best possible team without Rafa Nadal, goes down due to his right foot injury. Serbia later gave their list, with their top five ranked players on the ATP list, including the world’s number one, Novak Djokovic, who will be accompanied by Filip Krajinovic, Dusan Lajovic, Laslo Djere and Miomir Kecmanovic.

Also taking part in the tournament will be number two, Daniil Medvedev, leader of the Russian Federation team., who will also form with Andrey Rublev, Aslan Karatsev, Karen Khachanov, and Evgeny Donskoy. A powerful line-up that aspires to go far, like Canada, which repeats with Denis Shapovalov, Felix Auger-Aliassime, Brayden Schnur and Peter Polansky.

Italy is another of the countries that has its best men and that aspires to everything in the Finals. Because, in addition, it will initially compete in Turin. They will be in the azzurra Matteo Berrettini, Jannik Sinner, Lorenzo Sonego, Fabio Fognini and Lorenzo Musetti. A great team.
