Coming into the Australian Open a few weeks back, many, if not all, were hoping that the Serbian Novak Djokovic would be clinching his 11th title at the Open. However, a not-so-sensational performance throughout the tournament saw him bowing out in the semi-finals of the event. Since then, the Serbian has been out of the court. While many were eagerly hoping that he might make it just in time for the Davis Cup, their hopes were shattered yet again.

Novak Djokovic will not be featuring in the Davis Cup squad for their qualifying match. This has made many wonder about the whereabouts of the Serbian legend. Guess what, Serbia’s Davis Cup captain has an answer to this.

Where is the 24-time grand slam winner Novak Djokovic right now?

In an interview, Serbia’s Davis Cup team captain, Viktor Troicki gave his honest opinion when asked about Novak Djokovic. When asked if Novak Djokovic could come to Kraljevo and support the Serbian team from the stands, he suggested that it won’t be possible as the Serbian is enjoying some time with his family.

“I don’t believe he will come, he is in Spain with his family,” said Troicki while talking about Djokovic’s absence from the squad. That now brings us to the question if the Serbian would be able to make his way back into the Serbian team upon returning. Yes, that could certainly be the case.
