Djokovic celebrates leading Serbia to victory in the quarter-finals <\/p>\n
The Great Britain captain, Leon Smith, did not criticise the team\u2019s fans and said the atmosphere they created was \u201cone of the good things about the Davis Cup\u201d. Serbia were also backed by a sizable continent at the sold-out stadium in Malaga.<\/p>\n
"Whether there is a bit that goes over, comments, I could hear a couple – I don\u2019t think it\u2019s that bad,\u201d Smith said. \u201cI would hate to see it quietening down, because there\u2019s enough quiet tennis as it is."<\/p>\n
On the court, Britain were knocked out of the team competition after Djokovic\u2019s victory over Norrie added to Jack Draper\u2019s defeat to Miomir Kecmanovic in the opening rubber.<\/p>\n
Serbia, meanwhile, advanced to face Italy in the semi-finals, as Djokovic attempts to lead the country to their first Davis Cup title since 2010.<\/p>\n
Djokovic has won every tournament he has entered since his defeat to Carlos Alcaraz in the Wimbledon final four months ago.<\/p>\n
