Novak Djokovic has made a solid start to the Basel indoor championshipYou can watch ATP World matches live for free at bet365>live streaming>tennisNovak Djokovic began his campaign for the Basel indoor title in style with a 6-4, 6-2 win over Latvian opponents Ernests Gulbis. Gulbis is known to be capable of causing big upsets, so the Serbian world number three will be pleased to have progressed without any fear of elimination.
Djokovic only needed seventy-one minutes to complete the victory, and should be well-rested going into the next round. Whilst Djokovic has already qualified for the ATP World Tour Finals in London, he’ll be aiming to develop some form ahead of the tournament. By the looks of it, he should be able to mount a serious challenge for the end of season title.
Djokovic has every chance of doing well this week in Switzerland, but faces the potential threat of John Isner in the quarter-finals. Should he progress to the semi’s there’s also a possibility that he’ll need to beat Tomas Berdych and Roger Federer respectively to triumph. It goes without saying that he’ll need to be on top of his game to beat Federer in front of a home crowd.
