Novak Djokovic & Miomir Kecmanovic "start a party" as lights go out during Serbia's Davis Cup clash vs Czech Republic

Serbia's Novak Djokovic and Miomir Kecmanovic had a gala time during one of their team's Davis Cup clashes against the Czech Republic on Saturday, September 16.

Although Serbia lost their final group-stage match to the Czech Republic, Djokovic enjoyed the evening with his teammate Kecmanovic. The duo wrapped their arms around each other's shoulders and grooved to the music as the lights went out inside the stadium.

A fan sitting behind them recorded the two Serbians dancing and later posted the video on social media.

"The stadium went dark in the middle of a point & @MioKecmanovic & @djokernole started a party," the fan wrote.

Serbia finished second in Group C after failing to outdo the Czech Republic on Saturday. In the first match of the tie, Serbia's Dusan Lajovic, 33, went down 6-3, 6-2 to 18-year-old Jakub Mensik.

Later, the Czech Republican Jiri Lehecka overcame an injury-stricken Laslo Djere to secure the match. Djere toiled hard with a soar back but couldn't do enough to stop his opponent from clinching a 7-6(7), 7-5 victory.

For the doubles encounter, Novak Djokovic teamed up with Nikola Cacic to face Tomas Machac and Adam Pavlasek. It was a dead rubber as the Czech Republic had already sealed victories in both singles ties.

Nevertheless, the winning side swept the battle 3-0 as Machac and Pavalasek downed Djokovic and Cacic 7-5, 6-7(7), 10-3. The Czech Republic finished the tournament as the table toppers of Group C.
