Serbia won the Davis Cup for the first time on Sunday with a 3-2 win over France in the final.
Viktor Troicki breezed past Michael Llodra 6-2, 6-2, 6-3 to win the decider. In an early match, Novak Djokovic had defeated Gael Monfils 6-2, 6-2, 6-4 to put the score even.
The celebrations have begun in Serbia. With Viktor Troicki's crushing defeat of Michael Llodra in the Davis Cup final match before 17,000 boisterous supporters in the Belgrade Arena, Serbia has become the Davis Cup champion for the first time in history.
Serbian players celebrate after winning the Davis Cup World tennis Group Final in Belgrade, Serbia, on Dec. 5, 2010. Serbia defeated France with 3-2 and won the Davis Cup.
Celebrations broke out among the Serbian players and coaches and in the stands among the jubilant capacity crowd, which included Serbian President Boris Tadic.
Troicki's confident domination of this match came after Novak Djokovic's convincing win over Gael Monfils earlier in the day had brought the Serbian team even with France, 2-2, forcing a final match for the championship in this best-of-five competition.
After breaking the Frenchman twice during the first set, Troicki never really looked back. Although, Llodra did break Troicki in the beginning of the second set, he failed to capitalize on this lead and was simply overwhelmed by Troicki, who took the next six games for the victory. Troicki took match point in the third set by breaking the tentative Llordra.
