ATP Cup: Novak Djokovic helped Serbia reach the semi-finals

Serbia completed a clean sweep of Canada to set up an ATP Cup semi-final clash with Russia.

Novak Djokovic sealed the deal after battling back from a set down to win 4-6 6-1 7-6 (7-4) over Denis Shapovalov.

Shapovalov edged ahead in the first set as the world No 2 double-faulted at deuce at 4-4 and the Canadian took advantage.

But Djokovic came back stronger in the second and blew apart his opponent in the third-set tiebreak as he raced to a 5-0 lead and converted on his fourth match point.

This sealed the unassailable 2-0 lead after Serbia's No 2 Dusan Lajovic got his side off to a quick start, seeing off Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-4 6-2 in under two hours.

Brisbane we had amazing support , but this has taken it to a different level. All the Serbian people came out today. They were engaged sometimes a little bit too much, and Denis was rightfully annoyed at times, you know, with the sounds, but it was a Davis Cup-like atmosphere, really. I mean, ATP Cup brings this kind of opportunity for players to experience something they don't experience in 90 per cent of the tournaments.

In the dead-rubber doubles match, Nikola Cacic and Viktor Troicki completed a 6-3 6-2 win over Peter Polansky and Adil Shamasdin in under an hour.
