For the first time since 2005 the U.S. team were eliminated in the first round of the Davis Cup while Serbia advances to face Croatia. It took Novak Djokovic, ranked No. 2, needed 4 hours and 16 minutes to outlast the 20th-ranked John Isner, who was making his Davis Cup debut.

Also, the U.S. team played without both Andy Roddick and James Blake for the first time since 2000.

The match between Djokovic and Isner was a grueling one. After the match, John Isner said, "I knew I had to play my best tennis to have a chance against Djokovic. He returns the serve real well, and my hat is off to him for the victory."

Djokovic led his Serbian team to win with his HEAD Youtek Speed Pro. To learn more about the racquet check out our product page here.
