Almost two months away from the ATP Tour, since September 16 he completed the double winning the US Open and qualifying Serbia for the Davis Cup Finals in Malaga, but Novak Djokovic, 36 years old, came back as if he had competed the day before. That he did it in double, as a filming, with his countryman Miomir Kecmanovicbut alone he was as decisive as in his brilliant summer.
Champion of Cincinnati and US Open, he signed his fourteenth consecutive victory, he has not lost since. Carlos Alcaraz dethroned him at Wimbledon with an electric comeback.
He opened his Paris Masters 1000 ATP tournament by submitting the Argentine Tomas Martín Etcheverry 6-3 and 6-2 in 1h.24′.
An impeccable performance by the six-time tournament champion, finalist of the previous edition, who this Thursday has a date in the round of 16 with the Dutchman Tallon Greekspoorwhich took the place originally reserved for Ben Shelton either Alexander Davidovich.
‘Nole’ appeared to be very attentive to what could happen in a center court where he had already seen Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedevnumbers two and three of the classification he orders.
The Serbian took the first step towards becoming the world number one of the year. He has increased his lead from 500 to 580 points. Most of Paris he distanced himself 1,490 from Alcaraz, which would not be mathematically a decision in the matter, leaving a total of 1,500 in dispute at the ATP Finals in Turin.
The Spanish, logically, gave up on this goal after surrendering to the Russians Roman Safiullin. For your problems and considering that Djokovic It is located in a terrain it likes, indoor and hard court.
Djokovic is well tied to Etcheverry. He only faced one break point against him, early in the second set, and he closed it out with a stunning cross forehand. Awesome from start to finish, measuring times and solutions at will.
