As the 2010 Davis Cup Champion, Serbia did not expect a difficult start in 2011. But that was not the case.
Troiki (world nr.18) had a difficult win over Bopanna (not a top single player) in 5 sets after he was leading 2-0 (final score was 6-3 6-3 5-7 3-6 6-3).
Somdev defeated world Nr. 45 Tipsaveric in straight sets 7-5 7-5 7-6 (3) after recovering the first two sets 1-4.
On Saturday the doubles.
