Serbia wins World Team tennis title
Posted on: Saturday, 23 May 2009, 14:34 CDT
Viktor Troicki and Janko Tipsarevic won their singles matches Saturday, allowing Serbia to beat Germany at the ATP World Team Championship in Dusseldorf.
Troicki downed Rainer Schuettler 6-4, 7-6 (7-5) and Tipsarevic trounced Philipp Kohlschreiber 6-2, 6-4.
It's tough to explain,
Trocki said. Pretty much, I can not believe it. If someone told me before this week that we would win here this week, honestly, I wouldn't believe him.
The duo of Nicolas Kiefer and Mischa Zverev topped Troicki and Nenad Zimonjic in doubles 7-5, 4-6, 10-7.
Overall, the Serbs, playing in the eight-team tournament for the first time, won nine of their 12 matches and Saturday kept Germany from winning its fifth World Team title.
I think it is going to be huge and this is respect because (World No. 3 Novak) Djokovic was not here,
Tipsarevic after Serbia's victory. I really played well because I was 100 percent prepared for the match.
