Novak Djokovic showcased his exceptional serving prowess at Melbourne Park, achieving a significant milestone by claiming his 100th victory at the Australian Open with a decisive straight-sets win over Spain’s Pedro Martinez. The world number four was nearly flawless, dropping only five points on serve during the contest, which concluded with scores of 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 after just over two hours of play.
In his pursuit of a historic 25th Grand Slam singles title, Djokovic demonstrated remarkable efficiency, winning an impressive 93 percent of points on his first serve and managing eight service games without losing a point. He exhibited complete control of the match, dropping just one service point in both the second and third sets, culminating in a performance that left little doubt about his dominance on the court.
The 10-time Australian Open champion fittingly concluded the contest with his 14th ace, further highlighting his skill. Former doubles champion Mark Woodforde described Djokovic’s performance as “supreme” and “exceptional,” yet the star remained humble in his assessment. “I served very well. I can’t complain about anything,” Djokovic remarked following the match.
With a few days now to rest and prepare before his next competition, Djokovic expressed his commitment to ensuring his body is ready to face the upcoming challenges. His impressive form not only reinforces his status in the tournament but also sets an optimistic tone for his pursuit of another Grand Slam title in this renowned event. As the competition progresses, fans eagerly await to see how he continues to build on this exciting start.
