Astana, Kazakhstan, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 6th Oct, 2022 ) :Novak Djokovic cruised into the quarter-finals of the ATP tournament in Astana on Thursday with a crushing 6-3, 6-1 win over Dutchman Botic van de Zandschulp.
The 71-minute demolition of the world number 34 follows his 64-minute 6-1, 6-1 thrashing of Cristian Garin on Wednesday.
Former world number one Djokovic, who collected his 89th career title in Tel Aviv last weekend, extended his winning streak to six matches with a ruthless display.
"I think my serve worked very well when I needed to get out of trouble in the first set particularly," said Djokovic, who has not dropped serve in his past three matches.
"There were some 30/30 games, and when I broke his serve for 4-2, I faced a break point and I came in, and he had a look at that passing shot and he missed it.
"The match is decided in these moments."The 35-year-old Serb had a small scare in the opening set, complaining of pain in a nail which required the intervention of the physiotherapist.
The early exchanges were well contested with van de Zandschulp threatening to give Djokovic a serious workout.
