DJOKOVIC LOSES

Novak Djokovic has been defeated by the local lad John Isner in the quarter final round of the ongoing Western and Southern Open on Friday. Isner won the match in three sets by 7-6(7-5), 3-6, 7-5.

Djokovic had been in good form in this tournament and he was supposed to walk away with an easy win against Isner who is 13 positions behind him in the world rankings. But, the 28 years old American player didn’t let that happen. He played some brilliant tennis and pulled off one of the biggest wins of his career.

This was the 5^th match between these two players and Isner defeated Djokovic for the second time.

In the post match interview, Djokovic said, “My performance was extremely poor. It was horrible. I wasted a lot of opportunities and was nowhere close to my best.”

In the opening set, both the players held their entire serves and the set went into the tie breaker.

Djokovic committed quite a few unforced errors in the tie breaker and ended up losing it to get down by a set.

In the second set, Djokovic seemed to be getting into his groove as he broke Isner’s serve in the second game and then, held his serve in the next game to take a lead of 3-0. Thereafter, the Serbian superstar just won his next 3 service games and wrapped up the set.

In the final set, there were no serve breaks in the first 11 games and Isner was ahead by 6-5 when the 11^th game ended. The set seemed to be going into the tie breaker, but, it wasn’t to be. With an all important breakthrough in the 12^th game, Isner clinched the decider and moved into the final 4.

Isner’s next opponent will be Juan Martin Del Potro of Argentina.

DJOKOVIC THROUGH

Novak Djokovic has defeated David Goffin of Belgium in the first round of the French Open. Djokovic won the match in the straight sets by 7-6(5), 6-4, 7-5.

This was a comfortable victory for Djokovic. He looked just a bit rusty in the opening set, but, in the next two sets, he was at his best.

The Serbian superstar took 2 hours and 13 minutes to knock his Belgian opponent out of the tournament.

In the post match interview, Djokovic hailed his opponent. He said, “David played pretty well right through the match, especially, from the baseline, he was fantastic. He made me work hard in every set. I did well on my serve and managed to pull it off in straight sets.”

In the first set, neither of the two players dropped his serve in the first 12 games and as a result, the set went into the tie breaker. In the tie breaker, Goffin lost his focus and played loose shots to allow his opponent run away with the set.

In the second set, Djokovic broke Goffin’s serve in the 3^rd game and served out the next game to take a lead of 3-1.

Djokovic dropped his serve in the 8^th game and lost his lead. But, he bounced back immediately and got a breakthrough in the 9^th game to get ahead by 5-4. Now, he only had to hold his serve in the 10^th game to win the set and he did that without having any trouble.

In the third set, both the players held their serve in the first 10 games and the scorecard was showing 5-5 before the start of the 11^th game. It seemed that the set would go into the tie breaker, but, that didn’t happen. In the 11^th game, Djokovic managed to sneak a breakthrough and then, by holding his serve in the next game, he won the match.

In the next round, Djokovic will play against Guido Pella of Argentina.
