Novak Djokovic has one target right now: finishing the seasons as the world no.1
The Serbian has played a decent match against a below par Garcia-Lopez. Nole has conceded just 3 games in just 64 minutes.
Djokovic has never lost a single match so far in Beijing to win the tournament 4 times (2009, 2010, 2012, 2013).
Djokovic: I am fighting for world no.1
Nole is desperate to finish the season at the top of the rankings to comment “I’m fighting for No. 1 in the world. Of course, every tournament is important. This is already a huge motivation. I love competing. I love being on the court, being part of great tournaments like here in Beijing. Chinese people make me feel welcome, make me feel at home. This is definitely encouraging for me and for my motivation.”
Next vs. Pospisil
Nole has a tough task ahead as he will play an in-form Pospisil in the second round. Head to head is 1-0 for Nole and that was a tough 6-2 6-0 6-4 in Davis Cup.
