“All weekend we played amazing tennis and Borna produced unbelievable tennis (in) the deciding rubber.”
Croatia advanced to a home semi-final against France, while defending champion Britain will host Argentina in the other semi.
Britain needed to win only one of Sunday’s two reverse singles against Serbia in Belgrade, and Kyle Edmund wrapped up victory for the visitors with a rubber to spare when he beat Dusan Lajovic 6-3 6-4 7-6(5).
It was the first time Britain had ever won a World Group tie without their top-ranked player as Andy Murray sat out the clash following his Wimbledon victory last Sunday.
Serbia were also without world number one Novak Djokovic.
In the other quarters, Argentina beat Italy 3-1 and France defeated the Czech Republic 3-1.
