More difficult than expected was the premiere for Novak Djokovic in Shanghai, who struggled but in the end defeated Mickelsen in two sets and qualified for the tournament’s “32”, where he awaits the winner of the match between Flavio Kompoli and Stan Wawrinka.
The 19-year-old American tennis player, on the other hand, ranked number 43, although he did not manage to take a set from Nole, came very close, as both went to the tiebreak, 7-6(3) in the first and 7-6(9 ) the second, while the match lasted 1 hour and 59 minutes, a sample of how competitive Mikkelsen was.
Nole is chasing his fifth title in Shanghai, while at the same time he is very close to another historic achievement: reaching 100 career titles! Truly a legend of the sport.
