Madrid Open: Novak Djokovic dominates Taylor Fritz, moves into third round

The Hindu  

Novak Djokovic made light work of Taylor Fritz on clay on Tuesday, winning 6-4, 6-2 to move into the third round at the Madrid Open. RELATED| Stomach bug hits Nadal's hunt for sixth Madrid title After a tight start, some sensational defence from Djokovic in a lengthy rally set up the first break point opportunities of the match in the seventh game, the first of those then taken as Fritz went long. A far more comfortable set followed, with Djokovic raising his game and Fritz struggling to keep pace, going narrowly wide to gift away another break and put the favourite in cruise control. Fritz recovered in his next service game to prevent a third consecutive break, but Djokovic was extremely comfortable and swiftly closed out the match at the first time of asking with a ruthless forehand.
