I think Isner can defeat Troicki or Tipsarevic. Considering the Bryans will win, this will be decided in the 5th rubber between Querrey and Troicki/Tipsarevic

In indoor clay?
 
#7 ·
Hope they go with Tipsy. Hes insanely good in Davis Cup. Think Serbia should be heavily favored here.
 
#10 ·
Yeah, we have no chance.
 
#11 ·
querrey can try to win one on clay vs Tipsa, but Isner will lose both, and no one can beat Novak...easiest win here..
 
#12 ·
considering the way Djokovic and Querrey played recently, and the fact that Querrey lost 7-6 in third set to Gonzalez in Acapulco after just coming from his victory in Memphis whereas Djokovic will just arrive on clay with all the mental problems he showed last week,

I don't think it's impossible at all that Querrey gives many problems to Djokovic on first day.

Djokovic will beat Isner, but the Bryans are favorite, and the other matches are winnable for the USA. Serbia is favorite but I don't think this match is done yet.

For serbia, i think it's not easy to choose Troicki or Tipsarevic for the second match. i think Troicki could have his chance. Last year match of Tipsarevic on clay against Nadal was terrible. For doubles, they have good options. Zimonjic is intouchable and he can play with the three other players. But as the the double USA team is a special one, i would have tryed a special one too for the serbians : Zimonjic and Vemic. they ofetn played together in the beginning of their carreer and Vemic play actually good. And he is pretty good on clay.

If US win at least one match on 1st day, they have got great chances to win the whole match. :)

WWW Davis Cup R16: Serbia vs. United States

While I’m no fan of Davis Cup, this one should be interesting and I’ll definitely be tuning in to see how the American upstarts fare against Djokovic & Co.

Rubbers:

Troiki vs. Isner
Djokovic vs. Querrey
Tipsarevic / Zimonjic vs. Bryan / Bryan
Djokovic vs. Isner
Troiki vs. Querrey

Will the Americans get their asses handed to them yet again on European clay? … Or is there a possible upset in store? [and interestingly, the U.S. and Serbia have never met in Davis Cup action.]

Re: WWW Davis Cup R16: Serbia vs. United States

serbia 4-1... if not 5-0
Serbia should prevail, but I doubt it would be as straightforward as that. Bryans are favorites for the doubles IMO and Querrey can win over Troicki. I don't see them pulling off the third, though

Re: WWW Davis Cup R16: Serbia vs. United States

The US could actually win this. Querrey and Isner are perfectly capable of both beating Troicki, and the Bryans have to be the clear favorite in the doubles match.

The real problem is just that its on slow clay, and the US is fielding two serve reliant singles players. On another surface, I'd almost favor the US to win 3-2 based on beating Troicki twice and winning doubles. But on clay, I gotta say 4-1 or 3-2 Serbia are the most likely outcomes.

3-2 to Serbia.

Djokovic wins both singles + Tipseravic beats Isner.

US win doubles and Querrey beats Tipseravic.

Re: WWW Davis Cup R16: Serbia vs. United States

The tie would possibly be more interesting if Troicki-Querrey was the first match on Sunday, as that would make the decisive fifth rubber scenario more likely. As it is, it's likely to be over before that match
