DAnil Medvedev put pressure on Novak Djokovic with his pass to the second round of the Mexican Open in Acapulco. The Serbian is only served by the semifinals in Dubai right now to continue one more week at the top of the ATP ranking. Accumulate 361.
Well, Djokovic has got down to work and ranked among the top eight in the emirate after defeating Karen Khachanov 6-3 and 7-6(2).
The Serbian, five times champion of the contest, has not been affected in the least by his period of inactivity after being deported in Australia when he went to Melbourne to play the first ‘Grand Slam’ of the course.
Khachanov, semifinalist last week in DohaHe fought as hard as he could against a superior being who wants to continue being the best in his sport.
The victory leaves him just 15 points behind Medvedev before running into the Dubai quarterfinals with Jiri Vesely, who gave the surprise against a tired Roberto Bautista with a score of 6-2 and 6-4.
Nole seemed to have broken the match with a second break in the third game of the second set. It was not like that because Khachanov also made his ‘break’ and led to sudden death.
Djokovic has Rafael Nadal as an ally in Acapulco. If the Spaniard defeated Medvedev in a hypothetical semifinals, he would be worth making a final to extend his leadership at the head of the men’s circuit.
The Belgrade tennis player is determined to retain his reign on the court since he will lose it outside of it by not being able to enter the United States for not being vaccinated and being low in the Masters 1,000 of Indian Wells and Miami.
