Serbia defeated France in the 2010 Davis Cup final.
The final was played from December 3–5, 2010, at Belgrade Arena in Serbia. The hosts won the best-of-five tie 3–2, securing Serbia’s first Davis Cup championship as an independent nation. Serbia had trailed 1–2 before Viktor Troicki defeated Michaël Llodra in the deciding fifth rubber.
Novak Djokovic was central to the triumph. He won both of his singles matches, beating Gilles Simon and Gaël Monfils, while Nenad Zimonjić and Viktor Troicki represented Serbia in the doubles. France’s team included Llodra, Simon and Monfils, but Jo-Wilfried Tsonga missed the final through injury.
A common mix-up is Serbia’s semifinal opponent: Serbia defeated the Czech Republic 3–2 in the semifinals, then met France in the final. Spain was the defending champion from 2009, while Argentina was not Serbia’s opponent in the deciding tie.
