Group C will undoubtedly be the most tough and entertaining group stage of the Davis Cup. South Korea will face a formidable Serbian team captained by new world No. 1 Novak Djokovic, who, unlike in previous years, will be accompanied by a strong squad of players.

Our favourite Serbia vs South Korea predictions

South Korea and Serbia met for the second year in a row; the previous year, Spain hosted the opening h2h, which favored the Europeans. Follow our Cup Davis match betting tips and top tennis predictions.
Serbia to win 3-0
Individually, the disparity between the two teams is too great. With Novak Djokovic’s return to the top spot, all four members of the Serbian team are rated in the top 100. South Korea, on the other hand, is represented by Soonwoo Kwon, who is ranked 112th in the ATP rankings.
Both teams are evenly matched in doubles, and I think it will only harm them when they encounter other teams that are better suited for that area. In doubles, neither country will have any highly ranked players. Taking this into consideration, I expect Serbia will win convincingly.
Djokovic is the best in singles, can he triumph in doubles too?
The Serbian squad will attempt to obtain a perfect score against Korea and the Czech Republic in order to play Spain on the last day of the Davis Cup group stage.
Serbia preview
The absence of Novak Djokovic in the Davis Cup qualifications was not an excuse. A strong Serbian team easily overcame Norway, which was also missing its finest players. Three wins in singles and one in doubles were enough to secure a spot in the group stage.
The European team won the Davis Cup for the first and last time in 2010. They came close to repeating the feat in 2013, but were beaten by Czech Republic, who is also in the group stage. According to several bookmakers, Serbia should have no trouble beating South Korea.
Full team

- Laslo Djere
- Miomir Kecmanovic

South Korea preview
Watching the South Korean squad in this Davis Cup group round makes me proud of how they advanced to this stage after a dramatic encounter against Belgium. The European team led 2-0 after winning the first two singles matches.
Everything changed for the Asians after that, since the Belgian couple had a stronger record than the South Koreans; in fact, the Asians began losing the opening set, but they turned the score around. This inspired the team, which won two singles matches to complete the comeback and overcome the Belgians 3-2.
