Novak Survives!


In a heart-pacing match that lasted 183 minutes, Novak Djokovic came victorious over the American Amer Delic, 6-2, 4-6, 6-3, 7-6. The Serb was evidently struggling to survive the powerful aces of Delic. Delic produced sixteen aces in four matches compared to Djokovic's eleven. Djokovic was also in total heat during the fourth set, rounding only a fifty percent of his first serves and laid out seven unforced errors. But the defending AO champ managed to gather his high hopes and get even with Delic and win the nerve-cracking tiebreaker.

What more to say? Amer Delic was a great and aggressive player but Novak was in better form and got lucky to successfully advance to the fourth round.

Excellent Match, Novak!

Good Luck
