Score, report, and key facts
1st set.
Nothing could divide these 2 players that had to fight for the set only at the tiebreak. Finally, the Serbian won the breaker at 7.
2nd set.
Novak won the set after he broke Edmund 3 times in the 3rd (2-1), in the 5th (4-1) and in the 7th (6-1) game. That break was enough for Djokovic to win the set as he didn’t concede his serve in the rest of the set.
Kyle was not able to offer any resistance in the last 6 games of the set (from 0-1 to 6-1).
Statistics
At the end of the match, Novak scored 69 points vs. Kyle’s 48 points.
Novak served exceptionally well to win 89% of the points (32/36) behind his first serve, and he won 56% points (10/18) on his second serve.
