Novak Djokovic beat World Number 1 Rafael Nadal 6-2, 7-6 (4) on Sunday night to level the final for Serbia, and then delivered a doubles win to capture the ATP Cup for Serbia.  In the first match, Roberto Bautista Agut beat Dusan Lajovic 7-5, 6-1.

Djokovic teamed up with  Viktor Troicki for a 6-3, 6-4 win over Pablo Carreno Busta and Feliciano Lopez to lift the ATP Cup for Serbia.

The stadium was packed with boisterous Serbian fans.  The behavior of the Serbian fans irked Nadal during the match.

Nadal was critical of the idea of having two team competitions on the calendar – Davis Cup and the ATP Cup. Nadal said, “I think ATP Cup] is a great competition, but at the same time — I can’t change my mind that two World Cups in one month is not real. So is not possible. So we need to find a way to fix it and we need to find a way to make a big deal with ITF and ATP to create a big World Team Cup competition, not two. I think that’s a confusion for the spectators, and we need to be clear in our sport.

Former world No. 1 golfer Luke Donald will join U.S. Davis Cup captain Mardy Fish at the 2020 Mardy Fish Children’s Foundation Golf Fundraiser Monday, January 13 at the Windsor Club in Vero Beach, Florida.

The annual event is one of the major fundraisers for the Mardy Fish Children’s Foundation. It is a non-profit foundation that benefits at-risk children in Indian River County.

Other players participating in the event include European Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley, Major League Baseball pitcher Rick Rhoden of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Pittsburgh Pirates and New York Yankees,  pitcher Tim Wakefield of the Boston Red Sox, Vero Beach resident and former Los Angeles Dodger Rick Monday, former tennis star, two-U.S. Open semifinalist and two-time Davis Cup champion Cliff Richey and former ATP-ranked tennis player Thomas Blake.

Fish is a fantastic gofer. After playing golf with Fish, Golf legend Jack Nicklaus said, “I have never seen anybody with as nice a golf swing and as good a golf game that doesn’t play it professionally, or as a top amateur. I was flabbergasted how good Mardy was.”
