2008 was the inception of the Serbia Open, and never before had a tournament been held in Serbia, so it was a risky proposition. That year, Novak Djokovic made his hometown proud with a win over Lukasz Kubot. The tournament was host to over 100,000 fans during the nine days that it was going on. This year, the top seed in this event is Djokovic, and the 22 year old has already done extremely well this year, reaching the quarter finals in Rome and the semi-finals in Monte-Carlo. He'll hope to win another title for his hometown of Belgrade.

 

 

Second seed is John Ishner, who hasn't had much success on clay, winning only one match this year on a clay court. He'll be hoping to do better in his very first appearance in the Serbia Open. Third seed is American Sam Querrey, reaching his first final match in Houston last month. He'll be visiting Belgrade for the second time. Fourth and fifth seeds are Stanislas Wawrinka and Ivo Karlovic.
