BELGRADE — Novak Djokovic was upbeat about his prospects of leading Serbia against Kazakhstan in this weekend's Davis Cup tie, after pulling out of a tournament last week with an eye infection.
The world number one retired from the Dubai Championships quarter-final against Spaniard Feliciano Lopez on Thursday, but said he was on track to take part in the tricky first round home tie against last year's quarter-finalists.
"All is going well regarding my recovery and I am optimistic about playing in the tie," Djokovic, who appeared without the protective glasses he had worn since the problem appeared, told a news conference.
