Novak Djokovic showcased his brilliant form as he defeated Roman Safiullin 6-3 6-2 to advance to the quarterfinals of the ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai 2024. Djokovic’s performance left Safiullin struggling to find a response to the Serbian’s inspired play.

Safiullin initially showed promise in the first set with his aggressive and precise shots, but Djokovic quickly took control of the match with his intense focus and powerful forehand. The Serbian’s ability to vary his shots and keep Safiullin off balance proved to be the key to his victory.

“Djokovic showed a very consistent version and will face Mensik in the quarterfinals,” noted a tennis analyst.

Despite Safiullin’s efforts, he was ultimately overpowered by Djokovic’s superior skill and determination. Djokovic’s dominant performance has set him up for a challenging match against Mensik in the next round, where fans can expect to see more of the Serbian player’s exceptional tennis prowess on display.
