The national team plan to complete a skydive in celebration if they win the tournament for the first time since 2010 on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>After beating France 13 years ago Djokovic and the Serbia players shaved their heads in celebration of the historic achievement. However, the 36-year-old seems less keen on the adrenaline-fuelled celebration planned if they win this year\u2019s tournament in Spain.<\/p>\n<p>Serbia captain Viktor Troicki revealed that his team would jump out of a plain if they win the tournament. Djokovic was quick to reply: \u201cIf you want to live, don\u2019t win it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Serbian is looking to complete an impressive season which has seen the 24-time Grand Slam winner take the Australian, French and US Open titles along with last week\u2019s Tour Finals. With limited seasons left in his illustrious career Djokovic is keen to help Serbia to a second Davis Cup crown.<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/72\/590x\/secondary\/Novak-Djokovic-5084807.jpg?r=1700911006344\"><\/p>\n<p>Andy Murray withdrew from Great Britain\u2019s quarter-final match against Serbia as Djokovic\u2019s nation progressed.
