Serbia at the Hopman Cup
Template:HopmanCupNationinfobox Serbia is a nation that has competed at three Hopman Cup tournaments since it gained its independence following the break up of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s. It first competed in the 18th Hopman Cup in 2006 (competing in 2006 under the name Serbia and Montenegro). Serbia has reached the final on two occasions; the first time in 2008 where they lost to the USA and again in 2011 where they had to retire before the final was played due to an abdominal injury sustained by Ana Ivanović[1].
