Serbian Novak Djokovic extended his unbeaten run to 15 straight matches after opening his BNP Paribas Open title bid with a 6-0, 6-4 win over Kazakhstani Andrey Golubev on Sunday evening in Indian Wells.
The third-ranked player on the ATP World Tour raced through the opening set in a mere 21 minutes, limiting his opponent to six points total. He was broken in the first game of the second set, but got back on serve at 3-all and broke Golubev for a fifth time to claim the win in 59 minutes.
It was great start of the tournament, he said. With those first matches you don't know what to expect
I really tested myself today, because I had Golubev, who is coming up from big Davis Cup wins, and he's a very good player. He showed that in the second set. He started hitting the ball from the baseline really hard. But I was in the control most of the match. I am really happy with the way I was playing. I want to keep on moving.
Beginning with the Davis Cup final last December, the 23-year-old Djokovic has lost just two sets in 15 matches. He made a perfect start to the 2011 ATP World Tour season with wins at the Australian Open and Dubai, and has a chance to overtake Roger Federer at No. 2 in the South African Airways 2011 ATP Rankings based on his performance in Indian Wells.
Djokovic won the Indian Wells title in 2008 (d. Fish) and was a runner-up in 07 (l. to Nadal). He fell in the fourth round last year to eventual champion Ivan Ljubicic.
He next faces 31st-seeded Latvian Ernests Gulbis, who saved one match point down 6-7 in the second set tie-break to defeat Chinese Taipeis Yen-Hsun Lu 6-7(1), 7-6(7), 6-1.
Canadian Milos Raonic, the breakout star from the first two months of the 2011 season, took advantage of his opportunities to knock out 2008 finalist and World No. 15 Mardy Fish 7-5, 6-4. He fought off eight break points, including three in the final game, and capitalized on all three of his chances.
The 20 year old, who received treatment for a back muscle spasm during the match, said: I'm hungry for the wins. I want to win as much as possible. I want to reach new limits. I want to keep improving. By winning today, especially here with a day in between, it's a good thing. I have a chance to recover fully and sort of treat and now come back in two days sort of hoping to play better, hoping to serve better, and hoping to feel better.
Raonic defeated a Top 25 player for the sixth time this season, including four Top 15 wins. He also beat a 17th-ranked Fish last month in the Memphis semi-finals.
