MIAMI, March 23, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Novak Djokovic put his Indian Wells
disappointment behind him on Friday night at the ATP and WTA Miami Open with
a ruthless 7-6 (7/2) 6-2 destruction of Australian Bernard Tomic to move into
the third round.
The Serbian world number one endured a meek exit at the hands of German
Philipp Kohlschreiber in the California desert but arrived desperate to land
what would be a record seventh title in South Florida.
Tomic, the current world No. 81, gave the 31-year-old a few problems yet
the Australian struggles to consistently challenge the best players and this
was evident once again as Djokovic eased through the gears at Hard Rock
Stadium with just one hour and 13 minutes on the clock.
He will play Federico Delbonis of Argentina for a place in the fourth
round.
