Nole had the idea to start the new season in style and… he did it!
The world no.1 had a devasting start to lead 5-0 in just 20 minutes. This was quite remarkable also because he was not playing an erratic player, but a very regular one: David Ferrer.
Soon after the match became “more normal” with Nole winning 6-0 6-3
Nole comments
“I love this court and the conditions here. I wish all the tournaments in the world were played here,” Djokovic said. “It’s definitely a great surface. It’s not too warm here, not too cold, it’s ideal to prepare on.
“I am surprised with my game considering it’s the first match of the official season. Hopefully I can play another good one tomorrow.”
From Ferrer
David was astonished by the Serb. “He’s the best. I tried but I couldn’t do it. Next time I will try again. I won three games but to beat Nole I need to play my best tennis and today wasn’t a good day.”
The Final
Nole will play in the final Almagro that replaced Nadal and defeated in the semifinal Tipsarevic 2-6 7-6 6-2.
The exhibition has a “the winner takes it all” format. So the winner will get a nice $250.000.
