Who would Leon Smith choose to face Novak Djokovic?
One of Leon Smith’s team will almost certainly have to face Novak Djokovic in singles play in the event of a draw against Serbia.
The world number one won two matches in the 2010 final to help his team win their first ever Davis Cup, and beat Croatia’s Marin Cilic in last year’s semi-final.
Norrie, Evans and Draper are all singles options for Smith, but could fans potentially see another classic Murray/Djokovic match?

Britain’s Dan Evans talks about the magic of the Davis Cup
“The Davis Cup is the reason I played tennis in the first place,” says Dan Evans.
“I remember watching the Birmingham games, which were finishing late on a Sunday night. It was really my first introduction to professional tennis.
“It was the key to playing the Davis Cup for my country – and it still is. I’m not a nervous person but before playing the Davis Cup it’s a different feeling.
