Great Britain to face Novak Djokovic's Serbia in Davis Cup quarter-finals

Great Britain have been drawn against Novak Djokovic's Serbia in November's Davis Cup quarter-finals.

Leon Smith's team of Dan Evans, Cameron Norrie, Andy Murray, Jack Draper and Neal Skupski claimed a trio of 2-1 victories over Australia, Switzerland and France at the Manchester Arena in Group B to progress in first place.

In their winner-takes-all showdown with France, Evans and Skupski's dramatic doubles triumph over Nicolas Mahut and Edouard Roger-Vasselin - in which they saved four match points - confirmed GB's spot in the knockout stages, which take place in Malaga in two months time.

The 10-time champions - whose most recent title came back in 2015 - could have met either Serbia or Italy in the last eight, but they have been drawn against the Djokovic-led former, who finished second in Group C.

The winner of that clash will face either Italy or the Netherlands in the semi-finals, while Group B runners-up Australia are set to take on the Czech Republic, who thrashed Serbia 3-0 in the group phase.

Finally, reigning champions Canada will face off against Finland in the knockout rounds, which take place from November 21 to 26.
