This past weekend, the Lithuanian tennis team achieved a significant victory by overcoming Israel 3:1, allowing them to re-enter the first group of the Davis Cup competition. In the matches held in Netanya, Lithuania's Vilius Gaubas secured two victories in singles, complemented by a win from Edas Butvilas. This success marks a notable achievement for Lithuania, highlighting the country's growing presence in international tennis.

Meanwhile, Serbia faced its own challenges in Chile, competing for a place in this year's Davis Cup finals but returning without any victories. During this round, Serbia did not include any of its top four players from the ATP rankings, which heavily impacted their performance. Currently, Novak Djokovic leads as the third-ranked player in the ATP classification, with a team comprising other notable players like Miomir Kecmanovic and Hamad Medjedovic.

Historically, Serbia has been a strong competitor in the Davis Cup, having won it in 2010 against France and reaching finals in 2013, as well as multiple semifinals throughout the years. Their commitment to the sport continues to be a topic of interest as they strategize for future competitions and aim to reclaim their previous glory in international tennis.
