KK has him 10 feet behind the baseline and 10 feet outside the sideline and still only comes in on a dropshot cause he has to.
Brilliant strategist.

Just wonderful from Novak. :) A 19th consecutive win and at least 3 more weeks guaranteed at number 1. Tbh unless he completely stinks up the joint again during the Sunshine Double I'll be surprised if he loses the #1 ranking anytime between now and Wimbledon.
 
Djoko keeping the young stars in place. Hopefully he can reach another Dubai final and do a job on Tsitsipas too! That final still on cards!

Djoker rolls on in relentless form!

19th? I thought it was 16th? The 6 at ATP Cup, 7 at AO and 3 here so far.
 
Khachanov sucks

Who do think was going to beat Djokovic in the mood he was in today, the guy was blasting winners at 150km per hour, magnificent touch and feel with those feathered drop shots, he was covering the court and constricting the area the ball could be hit into like an anaconda and had fantastic clutch serving. When he plays like this, very few players can live with him from any generation.

I could beat this Djokovic.

By making him play doubles with me and losing.

The answer isn't Khachanov. That's for sure. Poor strategist just like the rest of his generation. Afraid to come in and when he does he looks scared af. Volleys right back at Djokovic or something. No variety at all. I'm not saying I expect anyone to beat him, but 2 games max all tournament is just lol. Grown ass professional tennis players that can't volley or hold serve. Pathetic.
 
This is the scariest Djoko ever seen. He has added aggressive tennis to what was already unbelievable defensive and counterattack tennis. No one makes winners from baseline (actually well behind baseline) like that. No one makes repetitive dropshots with that quality on rally with balls coming from KK at 120-130 kmh.
 
Is there anybody at this event capable of giving Djokovic a match? There just seems nothing to look forward to in any potential matchups unless, of course, you just enjoy seeing Djokovic destroy one feeble opponent after another.

I think it's safe to say tennis is dying. This year is probably going to be a repeat of 2015. Nobody in the current tour is even close to challenging Djokovic, leave alone beating him.

Tsitsipas is capable. But got to favor Djokovic clearly in this form.
 
Doesn't the fit the "Djokovic only wins by waiting for errors" narrative. I mean if he was that much more aggressive than someone like Khachanov who is a heavy hitter, what did people expect to happen?

But this is new territory for Djoko.
Before he would break KK's game with his defensive qualities, now he broke the guy with aggression.
