He had to roll up his sleeves to get through a much tougher match than expected. Novak Djokovic was able to elevate his tennis level to come back against Yannick Hanfmann with a score of 4-6, 7-5, and 6-3 in 2 hours and 42 minutes of play at the ATP Shanghai 2025.

With somewhat cold sensations on both sides of the court, the serve dominated early in the match, but after that initial phase, the German managed to rise. Amid the frustration of a Djokovic who was at times overpowered, Yannick confirmed his threats with a hard-earned break to take the lead, employing various tactics, especially drop shots and lobs.

Despite Novak's efforts until the very end, a very focused Hanfmann fiercely held onto his serve to claim the first set of the match, showcasing 17 winners in total, all against a rather restrained opponent who didn't quite feel comfortable deep behind the baseline.

Novak Djokovic Gives Himself a New Opportunity

Bringing the Serbian to the net to finish the points on his terms, Yannick seized his chances to build confidence with his shots, while on the other side, Djokovic tried to pave the way for a comeback. Nole's attempts didn't yield much, with Hanfmann rising to the occasion in moments of high tension, showcasing his best level even when facing adversity defensively.

All this continued until the twelfth game of the second set when the first break points arrived for Novak, who converted the first one to square the sets, sending a clear message and igniting the crowd, which seemed to come alive at that moment.

Transitioning from quick service games with no weaknesses, Hanfmann once again felt the pressure from a much more determined Djokovic, even showing some signs of frustration, but with a clear goal of chasing victory. Except for minor indications of discomfort in the leg and hip areas, Djokovic's feelings notably improved.

Maintaining a distance from the German, Novak fulfilled his duties on his service games (despite a stumble or two) to secure another victory at the ATP Shanghai 2025. Although needing to go to a third set, Djokovic confirmed his spot in the round of 16, where he will face Jaume Munar.
