ATP Cup 2020: Serbia enter last 8 as group winners 

Victory over France ensured Serbia tops  Group A standings and becomes second team to qualify for Final 8 of ATP Cup 2020 after Australia booked its place on Sunday as Group F winners. However, what marred Serbia's victory was vak Djokovic's on-court behaviour. Djokovic is kwn to lose his cool during matches over questionable umpiring decisions and once again Serbian lost his cool over losing a point due to a video review for first time in his career. Video review is one of invations at ATP Cup 2020.

With Troicki serving at 6-3, 2-3 at 30-30, Djokovic hit a forehand volley to Nicolas Mahut’s return to earn a game point. But French pair of Mahut and Edouard Roger-Vasselin were convinced Serbian h touched ball before it h crossed net and thus he should lose point because of a 'foul shot'. decision eventually went in favour of France. Speaking about incident to official ATP website, Djokovic said that it seemed to him, at first, that it was kind of just in middle, but n  chair umpire repeated video a couple of times to show he was right.
