In a rare meeting between the singles world No 1 and the top-ranked doubles team, the momentum was with the Croats going into the second set, as they broke to go 3-1 up.
Djokovic, whose dream of winning the Davis Cup for Serbia was now slowly slipping away, showed his anger when getting broken in the second, kicking his racket bag next to Team Serbia’s bench in a moment of frustration.
The Serbian pair were unable to win another game afterwards, as the world No 1 doubles team produced a masterclass to clinch a 7-5 6-1 victory and book their spot in the final.
They will now face the winner of Saturday’s (December 4) semi-final between the Russian Tennis Federation and Germany.
