- I haven't decided just yet, but i am closer on skipping that match. Right after Wimbledon my focus will be on Olympic games and i will give my best to get some rest first, than start serious and maximum training for Rio.

- The change of the terrain from grass to dross is not a simple thing, it brings a lot of risk and i am close to agreeing with the selector Obradovic and teammates to skip the duel with Britain. However, its not easy for me to make that decision, there is nothing prettier than playing for Serbia, in front of my people. It is a special kind of emotion and something that fulfills everybody - said the Serbian tennis player to the reporter for Journal from London.

He added that he is very proud of the bronze medal from Beijing and he did not hide that he desires gold from Rio.

- I will give my best to get to gold, and the other players are coming to Brasil with the same goal, and many things have to work perfectly to make that happen. It will be everything but walk to the first place and gold - said Djokovic and concluded he expects more than four medals from Serbian team, which were won in London.

Quarterfinal match of Davis Cup between Serbia and Great Britain is played in 15th and 17th Jul in Belgrade on Tasmajdan.
