Djokovic comes through Prizmic test in Melbourne opener

The Hindu  

Novak Djokovic was dragged into a dogfight by talented teenager Dino Prizmic and had to dig deep to open his Australian Open title defence with a 6-2, 6-7, 6-3, 6-4 victory in the first round on Sunday. At a shade over four hours, it was Djokovic’s longest first-round match at a major and he heaped praise on the Croatian qualifier for his performance on his Grand Slam debut. I had some good moments physically I’m still finding myself on the court.” The Serbian, who played his first Australian Open a few months before the Croatian qualifier was born in August 2005, initially looked fully in control of the contest on the Rod Laver Arena court where he has won 10 of his 24 Grand Slam titles. Prizmic had already shown glimpses of the weapons he possesses and broke the top seed with a brilliant crosscourt winner early in the second set, forcing Djokovic to raise his game to break straight back. Djokovic broke Prizmic at the start but the teenager kept ripping huge forehands and stayed with the world number one in several rallies to put the match back on serve before breaking again for a 3-2 lead after a 15-minute battle of a game.
