It gave Serbia an unassailable 2-0 lead ahead of the doubles to set up a meeting with either the Nick Kyrgios-led Australia or Rafael Nadal’s Davis Cup champions Spain in the final on Sunday. Daniil Medvedev is one of the best players in the world and he showed today why,” said Djokovic, who on Saturday pulled out of next week’s Adelaide International after a tough ATP Cup. He lifted his level to create four break points in the next, converting when Djokovic misjudged a ball he thought was going out. Another break put him 3-1 ahead and Djokovic smashed his racquet in frustration as Medvedev took the set to level the match. Lajovic, who won his first ATP title last year at Umag, took a 2-0 record into his showdown with world number 17 Khachanov.
