Djokovic Bypasses Lopez In Indian Wells

Novak Djokovic avenged the only blemish on his 2016 record on Wednesday at the BNP Paribas Open. And he did it quickly. In one hour and five minutes, the Serb bypassed Spaniard Feliciano Lopez 6-3, 6-3 to move into the quarter-finals.

Djokovic, the defending Indian Wells champion, was precise in the desert. The World No. 1 won only four points on Lopez’s serve during the first set, but they all came at once – when Djokovic earned a break.

Last month in Dubai, Djokovic retired against Lopez after losing the first set because of an eye infection. The four-time Indian Wells champion is now 19-1 on the year.
