Djokovic Records 30th Match Win Of 2016
Djokovic goes on to meet Tsonga or Raonic
Novak Djokovic recorded his 30th match win of the season on Thursday to reach the Mutua Madrid Open quarter-finals.
Djokovic was in devastating form against Roberto Bautista Agut, the No. 15 seed, in a 6-2, 6-1 victory over 68 minutes. It was Djokovic’s fourth straight win over the 2014 semi-finalist.
The World No. 1 is attempting to capture his 29th ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournament and the fifth trophy of 2016. He is now 30-2 on the year.
Djokovic will next play seventh seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga or No. 11 seed Milos Raonic.
Nick Kyrgios, in the same quarter of the draw as Djokovic, will take on 2014 runner-up and sixth seed Kei Nishikori after he knocked out Pablo Cuevas 7-6(5), 4-6, 6-3.
Kyrgios, who hit 14 aces and saved five of seven break points, will contest his second ATP World Tour Masters 1000 quarter-final. He lost to Nishikori in the Miami semi-finals last month.
