After a sluggish first round against the amazing Tomas Machac and a more convincing match against Griekspoor in the round of 16, Novak Djokovic clearly moved up a gear this Thursday in the quarter-finals of the ATP 500 in Dubai.
Opposed to a Hubert Hurkacz in great shape following his coronation at the Open 13 in Marseille, the winner of the Australian Open delivered a real demonstration to qualify for the last four in the United Arab Emirates: 6-3, 7–5, after 1h20 of play.
Because with only 11 points lost behind his face-off and no break point conceded during the whole meeting, the world number one simply left no chance to his Polish opponent who is not the first comer. .
Thus, for a third place in the final in 2023 after the Adelaide tournament and the Australian Open, Djokovic could find Daniil Medvedev who will face Croatian Borna Coric.
