Novak Djokovic: Novak Djokovic continued his pursuit of a 100th tour-level title with an impressive 6-1, 6-2 win over Flavio Cobolli at the Shanghai Masters, advancing to the fourth round. This match marked a stark contrast to his earlier encounter against American player Michael Michelsen, as Djokovic showcased his dominance in their first meeting.

From the beginning I had a clear gameplan of what I needed to do, staying aggressive and trying to use every short ball to take the initiative in the point. Cobolli was evidently exhausted after last night’s match (against Stan Wawrinka). I think that has taken a toll, physically, on him today,” said Djokovic in the post-game interview.

Despite having played few matches recently, Djokovic expressed satisfaction with his freshness, saying he is ready to compete daily for as long as needed. “I haven’t played too many matches, I think the positive in that is that I’m fresh, so I am happy to play every day (for) as long as it takes,” he added.
