Djokovic reaches the semifinal in Beijing to prolong his no.1 rank

An easy match once again for Nole that seems to completely own Querrey’s game.

The world no,.1 has now a 7-1 record against the American that has never posed any threat in Beijing. In the first set Nole raced to a 5-0 lead in just no time to win 6-1. In the second set a couple of breaks gave to the Serb an easy match that eventually ended after 52 minutes. Just to highlight the difference between these two, Nole scored 62 points vs. Querrey’s 31. (match stats).

Djokovic: I managed to read his serve well 

The world no.1 one was rather happy especially on how he was returning to comment “To get free points on your serve is necessary and needed. I played a big server tonight. I managed to read his serve well and managed to always make him play an extra shot. I think that was a perfect performance overall. Good combination between serving efficiently and returning basically every serve back.”

The Semis vs. Gasquet

Nole will play Richard Gasquet in the semifinal. Head to head is 8-1 for the Serb that has never really struggled against the Frenchman in the last few years.
