Reports from Serbia suggest that local tennis hero Novak Djokovic might pass on his country's September 18-20 World Group playoff with Uzbekistan, confident that his compatriots can get the job done on court without him.
That decision would surely disappoint the 20,000 fans expected to front up for the event in a country which only got its first ATP event last may due to financial efforts from the family of the world No. 4.
So far, Djokovic is concentrating on his form at the US Open, where he lost the 2007 final to Roger Federer. "Physically I feel great. I feel ready, I feel confident on the court", he said.
"I'm mentally motivated and willing to do more. I have a big desire to perform good and to win the matches. I always try to push myself always to the limit, sometimes I'm perfectionist".
Reports hint that Djokovic might not consider the tie enough of a challenge for Serbia, which also boasts No. 31 Viktor Troicki at 31 and 64th-ranked Janko Tipsarevic on side for singles. That's in addition to Nenad Zimonjic in doubles.
Uzbekistan has never reached the World Group and come to Serbia as definite underdogs.
