Djokovic overwhelms Schwartzman in his Masters Cup premiere

Serbian Novak Djokovic cleared any doubts on Monday in his ATP Finals debut in London with a resounding victory over Argentine Diego Schwartzman 6-3, 6-2.

The one from Belgrade, who arrived without competing in Paris-Bercy and after surprisingly losing in Vienna, gave no option to the one from Buenos Aires and got rid of him in one hour and 19 minutes.

Djokovic, in this way, broke with the German Boris Becker as the third tennis player with the most wins in this tournament, and surpassed him with 37. He is only behind the Swiss Roger Federer, who has 59 wins, and the Czech nationalized Ivan Lendl , who has 39.

Schwartzman, who was making his tournament debut at 28, started with good pace and without a trace of a beginner's nerves.

He managed to break Djokovic's serve in the third game, taking advantage of several flagrant failures by the Serbian, but the joy was short-lived.

Goran Ivanisevic and Marjan Vajda's pupil immediately went bankrupt and no longer lowered the piston.

He put Schwartzman on a 5-1 run, dominating the entire court and excellent service and finished with numbers with the first serve above 80% and scoring seven

.

With the first set in his pocket, Djokovic barely offered any crack in his game and passed over the Buenos Aires to achieve an almost perfect debut in the tournament where he seeks to equal the six titles of RogerFederer.

At the moment, he begins leading the group Tokyo 1970 waiting for the German Alexander Zverev and Daniil Medvedev to play tonight.
