adminSHANGHAI. — It’s the big question in men’s tennis: how do you beat Novak Djokovic? And the unhelpful answer is, even he doesn’t know. When asked what he would do if he were trying to beat himself, the newly crowned Shanghai Masters champion just smiled and shook his head.
“It’s a good question but I have no answer,” grinned the Serb on Sunday.
Whether he is unaware of any flaws, or is just unwilling to give his rivals any pointers, was not completely clear.
Certainly Jo-Wilfried Tsonga didn’t have the answer as Djokovic swept to a 6-2, 6-4 victory in Shanghai to lift his ninth trophy of the year.
No shame in that: Djokovic trounced Andy Murray 6-1, 6-3 in the semi-finals, and a week ago he cruised past Rafael Nadal to stay unbeaten in six appearances at the China Open in Beijing. — AFP.
