Beaten in the first rounds at the US Open (by Mariano Navone, 7-6, 5-7, 4-6, 6-2, 6-1) and in Cincinnati (by Thiago Agustin Tirante, 6-2, 4-6, 4-6), “Djoko” is reassured a little in China, where he has still not lost… in seven appearances. Always comfortable in Beijing, the six-time winner of the Chinese ATP 500 had not set foot there since 2015.

Trailing 1 set 0, the 39-year-old champion was able to gain physical strength.
While he marked his return to the circuit by defeating Nuno Borges in the first round of this ATP 500, Novak Djokovic must still remove doubts about his physical limits at 39 years old.
