Novak Djokovic will once again reach the round of 16 at the Shanghai ATP for the ninth time in his career and after five years. The Serbian first had to defeat Flavio Cobolli, but it was nothing more than a formality. Nole secured a great victory demonstrating top form after his limited activity since the US Open. The four-time tournament champion dominated the Italian without mercy, calmly showcasing his top-level performance in just 1 hour (6-1 6-2). Therefore, he will have to return to the courts tomorrow to face Roman Safiullin for a spot in the quarterfinals.

Although it seemed that Cobolli started the match by putting pressure on Nole, that first game did not reflect the set's outcome at all. From the moment Djokovic hit his first serve, the Italian became the cornered player against the dominant display of his opponent. Nole almost stopped making errors, controlled the pace with his serve, and was very aggressive from the start. It was unusual to see such aggression from the Serbian right from the beginning. However, it paid off well as Cobolli succumbed to the errors caused by Djokovic's continuous pressure.

Nole was truly putting on a show, frustrating the Italian who didn't know how to deal with his opponent's moves. Djokovic knew all the tricks and played with enviable calmness; it didn't seem like the match was progressing at such a fast pace. The Italian also failed to change his game plan in the second set. Cobolli couldn't push Djokovic out of the baseline, couldn't disrupt him, something that could have unsettled the Serbian. Yet, Nole continued in his comfort zone, playing at ease.

Djokovic, a Spectacle

The young Italian could barely inflict any damage with his returns, while Djokovic responded to everything, each stroke deliberate. Facing a pressured Cobolli, Nole gave nothing away, increasing his rival's desperation. Ultimately, with a double break, Nole ended the match against his devoted fan. An impressive performance by a titan who executed everything flawlessly, leaving a profound sense of tranquility.
