Tennis : Novak Djokovic

Nole powers into the finals of Bangkok!


The Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic beat Czech Tomas Berdych in two sets, 7:5, 6:1 in 1 hour and 21 minutes to set up a match with no.2 seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga from France.

After Djokovic saved break points in the opening game of the match, there were no break chances until the 12th game when Nole used his first break point to win the first set 7:5.

Seemed like at the beginning of the second set Berdych was still thinking about that last point when the net was on Nole’s side. Djokovic broke his service in the second game and then held for 3:0 lead. The 23-year-old Czech managed to win one more game in the match. Novak broke him again in the sixth game and closed the match in style, 6:1.

The Serb will play in Sunday’s final for his fourth trophy in 2008., eleventh in his career. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (FRA) defeated his compatriot Gael Monfils 6:0, 6:3 earlier today.

The two players met in the final of Australian Open when Djokovic won in four sets to win his first Grand Slam title.

The final match is scheduled at 10am CET (3pm local time).

SO where is the ATP ranking now? IS Novak now number 2?

I've post it before.. hmm.. okay I'll post it again..

Hmm.. No, he's still third...

Tsonga beats Djokovic to capture his first career title!




The best Serbian tennis player and top seed of Thailand Open in
Bangkok, Novak Djokovic lost in the finals to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (2) in
two sets 7:6 (7:4), 6:4 in 1 hour and 42 minutes.

Novak started the match very well breaking his opponent’s service in
the third game. He kept the advantage until the eighth game when the
Frenchman managed to break back and equalise to 4:4. The set was
decided in tie break. After each player made two mini-breaks, and
Djokovic took the lead 4-3, Tsonga won four points in a row, making two
more mini-breaks to win the set 7:6 (7:4) in 56 minutes.

Nole had two chances for break in the second game of the second set,but
the Australian Open runner up held for 1:1. Both players won the games
on their services until the ninth game when Tsonga used his chance and
broke Djokovic’s service to take a lead 5:4. He was serving for the
match in the next, very nervy game.Novak earned himself three break
points and chance to come back into the match, but the 23-year-old from
Le Mans saved them all and used his first match point to win his first
singles ATP title!

Tsonga was more determined today, more aggressive, taking the
initiative. He made only three more unforced errors than Djokovic
(26/29), but hit fourteen more winners (13/27). Novak converted only 1
of 6 break points, Tsonga used 2 of 3 chances for break. The Frenchman
fired 8 aces, Nole only 3.

This was their second match. Novak won in this year’s Australian Open final.

Djokovic won 120 points and 51.000$.

Next tournament Novak will play in Madrid (Masters Series), that starts on Monday, 13th October.

Djokovic looking at the No.1!


The Serbian, Novak Djokovic, number three of the world, comes to Madrid with a definite purpose: to keep up a consistent and balanced profile that will allow him to keep up his challenge for the top position in the ATP ranking, currently occupied by Rafael Nadal.

“Being No.1 is my purpose in life,” points out Djokovic, who, on the other hand, recognises that “There are many great players in the world and, of course, the two at the top, Nadal and Federer, are a level above the rest.”

The Balkan player is certain that the key to achieve his goals is “to work hard and stabilise his level of performance.”

Djokovic would have more chances to get closer to the ATP No. 1 if he managed a victory against Rafael Nadal in a possible semi-final. However, Djokovic admitted that he would rather play against a less complicated rival. “Playing against Rafa, whatever the court surface, is always difficult. He has been playing his best tennis this year,” he stated.

With regard to the Mutua Madrileña Masters Madrid, he commented that it was nice to be back in this fixture, which impressed him greatly “because the VIP lounge is huge and the premises are very good.”

Tough challenge and an important win for Novak!




Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic came back from a set down to
secure his place in the third round of the Mutua Madrilena Masters
Madrid, when Romanian qualifier Viktor Hanescu (73) retired at 6:7
(8-10), 7:6 (8-6), 3:1 after 2 hours and 19 minutes.

The best Serbian tennis player was broken in the fourth game of the
first set, but managed to break back immediately and held for 3:3. The
set was decided in tiebreak. Djokovic missed one set point, while
Hanescu used his third, making one mini-break more than the Serb, to
take it 10-8.

Novak faced a break point in the opening game of the second set, but
saved it to take a lead. There were no chances for break until the 12th
game when Djokovic failed to convert two break/set points. Hanescu
equalised to 6:6, and the players fought once again in tiebreak. This
time Novak had more luck and won it 8-6.

At 1:1 in the third set Hanescu asked for a medical timeout. Two more
games were played. Djokovic made a break in the third game and held for
3:1 when Victor Hanescu retired due to his right leg injury.

Novak will next play no.14 seed Croat Ivo Karlovic who defeated Robin
Soderling earlier today. They played against eachother at Masters
Series tournament in Hamburg this year, Djokovic won in straight sets.

The third round match is scheduled on Thursday.

Djokovic falls to Karlovic!




World number three Novak Djokovic lost to no.14 seed Ivo Karlovic in
the third round of the Madrid Masters, 6:7 (4-7), 6:7 (5-7) in 1 hour
and 42 minutes.

Both players held their services in the first set. Djokovic saved a
break point in the second game. He had three chances for break, later
in the ninth game, but failed to convert them. Karlovic was convincing
in tiebreak. He made two mini-breaks and won it 7-4.

Second set also went to a tiebreak. The Croat was again more
successful. He made three mini breaks, one more than Novak, for 7-5.

Both Djokovic and Karlovic had 77 points in the match. The Croat fired 20 aces, 12 more than Novak.

Last year Nole reached semifinals, so he is going to lose 150 points.

The best Serbian tennis player will be back on court in Paris, where
the last of nine Masters Series tournaments in 2008 will be played.
That will be the last test before the Masters Cup in Shanghai.

Novak still the third player in the world!

not threatened.

the champion of Madrid, Andy Murray from Great Britain, is fourth in
the rankings with 3420 points.
