Djokovic breezes past Harrison, Tipsarevic wins epic

Unbreakable Nole wins a very comfortable match with Harrison in 1 hour and half.

The Djoker was just too strong from the very beginning not to leave much to his opponent. A very clean victory with Nole blasting 7 aces (no double fault) without conceding a single break point to break Ryan 6 times. 

From Nole

“I definitely didn’t want to underestimate my opponent tonight, I still knew that he has a quality,” said Djokovic. “Mentally he’s probably going to go out on the court knowing he doesn’t have anything to lose. He’s going to try to smack serves and forehands. I went with that kind of mindset on the court, just trying to play as sharp as possible from the start, and I’ve done so.”

From Harrison

“He’s going to be tough for anybody in this tournament,” said Harrison. “How are you going to take control of a guy whenever he’s putting the ball a foot from the baseline and absolutely tagging it?”
