Novak Djokovic waltzes to a 20th-straight victory over Gaël Monfils at Brisbane International

ABC  

In 2004, in the small town of Santa Margherita di Pula in Sardinia, Italy, two teenage tennis players, met in the quarter-final of a nondescript ITF "futures" tournament. The 24-time grand slam winner's 20th-straight victory over Monfils on Thursday, a routine 6-3, 6-3 in an hour and 12 minutes at the Brisbane International extends his record for having the most lopsided head-to-head record against any single player at ATP level to a soul-sapping 20-0. It took the Frenchman six attempts to score his first point of the match — he barely laid a racquet on any of Djokovic's serves in the first game. By beating Monfils, Djokovic becomes the oldest quarter finalist in Brisbane International history, and celebrated with a violin for daughter Tara, a saxophone for son, Stefan, with him in Australia for the first time. "It was a special match in a way, playing a 37-year-old versus 38-year-old on the tour in the first tournament of God knows what season of ours that we have in our career," Djokovic said.
