Djokovic cruises to Miami 4th round

Novak Djokovic reaches the 4th round in Miami with a straight sets win. Nole had some problems in the first set against world no.38 Joao Sousa, but eventually he found the way to win the opener and cruise in the second set. The final result was 6-4 6-1.

Djokovic. I was able to read his serve in the second

Nole commented “[Joao] made me play. He made me push myself harder in the second set because he was staying close to the baseline and picking up the balls very efficiently, which I wasn’t expecting. I thought he was going to be playing from back of the court a little bit more.

He was taking time away from me, especially from the side he was playing with the wind. He’s a good player, he’s very talented, he’s very quick around the court; he served well. I started to read his serve better in the second and just didn’t give him enough rhythm to maneuver.”

Next vs. Thiem

Nole will play Thiem in the 4th round. The head to head is 1-0 for Nole, but Thiem has the arsenal to produce an upset.
