Serbia, as the legal successor, has inherited all the results from the former Yugoslavia and Serbia and Montenegro. Since June 2006, the team has played under the name of Serbia, following the split of Serbia and Montenegro.
Serbia won the Davis Cup title for the first and only time in 2010, defeating France with 3:2 in the final as host nation.[2][3] The team was a runner-up in 2013, when they were defeated by the Czech Republic with 2:3 in the final in Belgrade.[4] The team also had four semifinals Davis Cup appearances (in 2011, 2017, 2021, 2023) and four quarterfinals Davis Cup appearances (in 2012, 2015, 2016, 2019).
