- 25 Comments
A hearty congratulations to Serbia for collecting its first Davis Cup title. The Serbs today whitewashed France in fine fashion with straight set sweeps by Novak Djokovic over Gael Monfils and then hero Victor Troicki who easily beat Michael Llodra.
The final score was Serbia 3, France 2!
“This was the greatest experience in my life,” Troicki told Daviscup.com. “I still don’t believe it. I mean, probably tomorrow or in the next few days I will start feeling the emotions of winning the Davis Cup.
“Seriously, I think we all did a great job this year. I would like to thank everyone, the whole team. We truly believed that we could do it, even though we were 2‑1 down.
“I’m without the words. This is the most easiest [way] to explain. I’m without the words. No words can describe my feeling right now.”
Serb No. 1 Djokovic was equally as thrilled.
“To be able to perform as well as we did today under the circumstances is just I think too good,” said Djokovic who didn’t drop a set in two singles wins. “In history, [this is] one of the best sport results this country ever had. This is by far individually and team the best achievements in our career by far.”
The team had promised to shave their heads if they won the Davis Cup. Well, I’ll let you be the judge if they lived up the their word!
