“Those are the two most important goals, let’s say, that I have throughout the years. I just feel so much motivation, and I am inspired to be part of the team. As long as I’m healthy, I’ll be there for the captain.”
The world No 1 also committed to playing for Team Serbia at future tournaments, so is more than likely to be in the squad again in 2022.
He continued: “I’ll try to be available always for the team, because the team competitions like Davis Cup, particularly the Davis Cup, that is the most historic team competition that we have in our sport that is an individual sport.”
2015 champions Great Britain also received a wildcard straight into the 2022 Finals week, having made it to the last-eight before losing to Germany this year.
British No 2 Dan Evans got off to a good start in Wednesday’s (December 1) quarter-final tie, neeeding just 55 minutes to defeat Peter Gojowczyk 6-2 6-1 in the first singles rubber.
However, world No 12 and recent Nitto ATP Finals debutant Cam Norrie was unable to close out a victory for his country against Jan-Lennard Struff in the second singles match, as world No 51 was able to keep Germany in the quarter-final with a 7-6(6) 3-6 6-2 victory.
A spot in the last-four came down to the decisive doubles rubber, with this year’s Australian Open and US Open champion Joe Salisbury partnering Neal Skupski to take on Kevin Krawietz, a two-time French Open champion, and Tim Puetz.
Britain was eliminated as they lost the doubles in two tiebreak sets, blowing a 5-0 lead in the second set tiebreak and losing seven points on the bounce to lose the match, as the Germans booked their place in the semi-final with a 7-6(10) 7-6(5) win.
With Andy Murray absent from this year’s Davis Cup squad, there will be hope he may once again represent Great Britain in the 2022 Finals.
