Djokovic annihilates Lorenzi at his opener at the 2012 US Open

That was a very ominous message from the Serbian Camp. Nole is not tired, he is damn hot and fresh to fight till the last point in this Slam.

The match was a complete humiliation for the Italian that had … a wonderful start!!! In fact, Paolo managed to break Nole in the very first game, then… bang…bang.. game over! The Serbian wins 12 consecutive games. Then he concedes to the Italian another game at the beginning of the 3rd set and then bye bye. 

The stats are also incredible. Nole won 79 points (35 Paolo), he blasted 7 aces with no double faults (Lorenzi committed 6 double faults without any ace). The duration of the match was a stunning 26minutes the 1st set, 23 the 2nd, 24 the 3rd.

“I tried to analyse my game, and my game was great from the start to the end,” Djokovic said. “It’s also important for me to try to be as economical with the time I spend on the court as possible, but obviously not underestimating any opponent. I played really focused, tried to get to the net also. It was great all in all.”

Nole will play  world no.112 Rogerio Dutra da Silva (4-6, 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-3, 7-5 on Gabashvili). Good luck to the Brazilian.

Roger advised.
