Lajovic Guides Serbia To Early Brisbane Lead

Dusan Lajovic on Wednesday put Serbia within a match win of finishing group play at the ATP Cup unbeaten. The country’s No. 2 singles player beat Chile’s Nicolas Jarry 6-2, 7-6(3) to conclude his Group A singles matches with a 2-1 record.

Lajovic won 56 per cent of Jarry’s second-serve points and broke three times for the 94-minute win.

Serbia is looking to start 3-0 at the inaugural ATP Cup, being played in Brisbane, Perth and Sydney. The tournament moves exclusively to Sydney on Thursday for the Final Eight. Serbia will compete in the Final Eight on Friday against a to be determined opponent.
