Comebacks to competition are never easy, even if your name is Novak Djokovic. The Serbian had been completely away from the routines of a professional tennis player for weeks, but it took him very little to show a high level of play at this ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai 2024. He defeated Alex Michelsen with a score of 7-6 (3) 7-6 (9), who displayed a good level of play.

Excited to relive past glories and eager to regain his best form in order to bask in the limelight and enjoy competition again. This is how Novak Djokovic is approaching this ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai 2024, which could be his last official tournament of the season and who knows if his final visit to China. What is clear is that the Serbian is eager to do well, as he demonstrated in his match against Alex Michelsen in the second round.

In the early stages of the first set, it was evident that Djokovic would struggle to warm up. Slow in his movements and lacking timing in his shots, he found himself down 4-1 in the blink of an eye. At that moment, he relied on experience and intangibles, hitting a lot of balls and forcing the American to step up. Errors came from the American, the match leveled up, and the tiebreak determined the outcome of this initial set. There, Novak displayed his best performance to dispel doubts.

The upward trend with which he ended that set notably boosted the Serbian at the start of the second set. He took a step forward on the court, increased his aggression, and managed to dictate the pace of the game. Everything seemed settled when he led 4-1 and had a promising 15-40 to seal the deal, but Michelsen took advantage of a slight relaxation from the legend and suddenly leveled the match.

Another tiebreak ensued, where dramatic situations unfolded due to an impressive level of play from Michelsen, who had more than enough chances to win the set. However, all the inherent virtues of Novak Djokovic resurfaced there, securing his passage to the third round of the ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai 2024 after enduring a lot.
