Janko Tipsarevic plays Gilles Simon in the final rubber of the Davis Cup final between Serbia and France.

Assuming Novak Djokovic completes victory over Gael Monfils then the 2010 Davis Cup final will come down to the final decisive rubber. Both Tipsarevic and Simon put in fairly innocuous performances on day one, losing in straight sets and it remains to be seen whether both team captains have the faith to stick with them.

Tipsarevic is the more likely to play having won the final rubber in Serbia's 3-2 semi-final win over the Czech Republic in September but there is a good chance Simon will be replaced with Michael Llodra after Llodra's epic doubles win on Saturday.

Tipsarevic has won all three of his previous matches with Llodra but they were in challengers between 2006 and 2007 while he has only played Simon once before, losing 7-6, 7-6 in Rotterdam two years ago.

Tipsarevic coped pretty poorly with the nerves in front of a packed, expectant home crowd on Friday and it will be interesting to see how differently he fares today as he looks to help Serbia make sporting history.

More details:
Tipsarevic-Simon begins at around 14.30 GMT
