Djokovic is revered as a hero in his home town of Belgrade and he will be relishing the opportunity to compete in front of home fans after his US Open exploits. Whatever he says in press conferences, Djokovic must be feeling it a little bit after mentally and physically draining epics against Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal but the Serb has always been a huge fan of Davis Cup and this weekend could be a big moment in Serbian tennis history.
Stepanek is an experienced Davis Cup campaigner and has won 16 of his 25 matches in the competition. He was a lynchpin of the Czech side who made the final last year, securing a brilliant five set win over Ivo Karlovic in the opening rubber of their semi-final against Croatia this time last year. It was an epic match which Stepanek edged 16-14 in the final set and it broke the Croatian spirits.
However Stepanek's 2010 has been badly interrupted by injury and he's had precious few wins on his return so there is little to suggest he can test Djokovic in this one.
