LONDON (AP) – Right now, Novak Djokovic is about as good as it gets on a tennis court.
The top-ranked Serb put on an impressive display against Kei Nishikori at the ATP finals on Sunday, stretching his winning streak to 15 matches at the season-ending tournament with a 6-1, 6-1 win at the O2 Arena.
“I think I was at my best,” said Djokovic, who has won the last three titles at the ATP finals and four overall. “Undoubtedly it’s been an incredible performance that I was hoping I can have coming into the match, coming into this tournament.”
Djokovic lost only nine points on his serve and never faced a break point. With Nishikori serving, Djokovic won 30 of the 53 points played.
Before the match, the ATP held a minute’s silence for the victims of the Paris attacks. The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for Friday’s attacks on the Stade de France, a concert hall and Paris cafes that left 129 people dead and more than 350 wounded, 99 of them seriously.
