Novak Djokovic the Beijing super star.
The Serbian has a perfect 27-0 record in Beijing where he has won 23 consecutive sets … and counting. Nole defeated John Isner 6-2 6-2 in the quarters in just 52 minutes.
Djokovic: My return was the key
Nole was ecstatic with his performance “Today was a great match. Obviously the fact that he served that high of a first percentage of serves in and I managed to break him twice says enough about the quality of the return that I had today. That was the key to winning the match.
Conditions didn’t help him, didn’t help his serve, even though he was serving around 200 average. But I was managing to pick up balls from each corner on the return. I was feeling like I can get a lot of balls back in play and make him move, which was one of the intentions tactically in order to be successful today.”
Next vs. Ferrer
Nole will play the semis against David Ferrer. Head to head is 15-5 for Djokovic that has won the last 9 matches. He is going for the 10th.
