Djokovic, Del Potro winners in
Dubai Duty Free Tennis
Championships
By Jawad Bisharat
Two Serbians took center stage today at the Dubai
duty-free tennis championships.
Novak Djokovic and Victor Troicki played a 2 set match that lasted 1:07. Troicki's came into the match
ranked # 44 in the world and a 1-12 record against his countryman Novak Djokovic.
Djokovic who hit 6 aces controlled the match from the beginning and gave Troicki very little
room to breath. Djokovic's consistent play and unmatchable defense helped seal the first
set 6-1.
Troicki however made the 2nd set more competitive when there was a slight kink in Djokovic's
armor at 4-3 serving. Troicki broke Djokovic to level the set at 4-4. But in the end Djokovic
proved too tough as he always does to break Troicki right back and served out the match to
win 6-1 6-4.
Other results included Juan Martin Del Potro winning a very tight 3rd set tiebreaker over
Marcos Baghdatis 4-6 6-4 7-6(4). And in a surprising result Nikolay Davydenko took out
Serbian Janko Tipsarevic 6-0 7-5.
