We are now down to the last four of the 2011 Davis Cup Tennis and there is no surprise to see Spain at the head of the market as they aim to win the team competition for the fifth time in their history. Spain have been the dominant force since winning for the first time in 2000 and it is hard to argue with their status as favourites with Boylesports, the Irish Bookmaker rate the Spanish  as a 5/4 shot to win the tournament which reflects the strength of their team at the moment. Such is the strength of the Spanish squad at the moment that they manged to comfortably dispatch the USA in the Quarter-Finals without needing to select their best player Rafa Nadal for the tie in Texas.

The closest opposition to the Spanish and there likely final opponents are expected to be defending Champions Serbia who with Novak Djokovic leading them will be expected to beat Argentina in their Semi-Final match up. Djokovic is without doubt the best player in the world at the moment and his remarkable run of form in 2011 was sparked by his brilliant performance in the Davis Cup Final last season as the Serbs defeated France in a tight final. Punters wanting to back Djokovic and the Serbs to defend their title can get a price of 6/4 with Boyleports, they look the clear favourites in the last four against Argentina which is likely to set up a home tie against the Spanish in the final.

The Spanish are likely to prove too strong for France in the Semi-Finals with the tie set to take place on clay later in the year, Nadal is likely to join the likes of David Ferrer, Feliciano Lopez and Fernando Verdasco in what is looking like the strongest team left in the tournament. It is worth considering though that should as expected Spain and Serbia reach the Final, the matches will be played in Serbia which is a massive advantage for Novak Djokovic and his squad which makes the Serbs a genuine threat. A Serbia v Spain final is a mouth watering prospect with Nadal and Djokovic set to meet in what could be a titanic tussle at the end of the year, Djovkovic has been on top of Nadal in general over the last year and if that trend continues we could be set to see Serbia retain their title.
