It all comes down to Sunday at the Davis Cup.

Serbia took a quick 1-0 lead after Novak Djokovic beat Radek Stepanek. But then Tomas Berdych took care of Dusan Lajovic, while the doubles team of Berdych and Stepanek beat Ilija Bozoljac and Nenad Zimonjic to give the Czech Republic a 2-1 lead.

When: Sunday, Nov. 17, at 8 a.m. ET

Where: Belgrade Arena, Belgrade, Serbia

That this match is five sets only helps Djokovic as well. If this is best-of-three, perhaps you could see an opening for Berdych. All he would need is two sets to win. Instead, he must get the better of Djokovic in three sets.

The longer the match goes, though, the more you favor Djokovic. His gas tank never hits empty, and when his opponent starts to wilt in the fourth and fifth sets, that's when the ...
