Smooth opening also for Novak Djokovic.
The world number one today (Monday) defeated Caspar Road 6: 7 (4) 2: 6 in the first game of the Green House of the ATP Final Tournament in Turin.
Djokovic did not start well and broke already in the first game on the way to a quick 2: 0 for the young Norwegian, but did not let it affect him, broke back later and equalized to 3: 3.
From here the two continued to maintain their submissions until the tie-breaker, in which the Serb won 4: 7 and went up to 0: 1 in sets.
The second act was already a completely different story.
The Serb, who dreams of swinging the trophy for the sixth time and equaling Roger Federer's record, twice broke Rod and closed out the game.
Later in the evening: 2019 champion Stefanos Cicifas will advance to his first fight against fifth-ranked Andrei Rublev.
