 DJOKOVIC SENDS OUT WARNING   Novak Djokovic got his Australian Open campaign off to a flying start on Monday. The Serbian youngster dropped only two games against Olympic champion Nicolas Massu as he continued his impressive start to the season. From the same age group as Briton Andy Murray, Djokovic has already won the Adelaide International this year and he is seen as a rising star in the game. His hopes here suffered a setback when he was drawn in the same section as top seed Roger Federer. However, if he continues his good form, Djokovic will feel he has a chance of beating the world number one, who suffered a surprise defeat to Andy Roddick at Kooyong last week. The pair are seeded to meet in the last 16. Massu simply had no answers to Djokovic's court craft and looked a far cry from the player who had battled his way to the gold medal in Athens. Djokovic hit 36 winners to Massu's 11 and repeatedly pummelled his serve, winning a remarkable 60 per cent of points on return as he recorded a 6-1 6-1 6-0 victory. |

Yep,I was like WTF??  But then again,lots of people think that Novak is "pulling out" an injury when he realises he can't win,so he likes to retire from the match rather than lose it  . But he really did have breathing problems,he had a small surgery . Btw,watched some interview with him on one of local Tvs. He sounds very down to earth and has good reasoning. Sometimes his self-confidence is too close to arrogance ,but I forgive him cos he plays so beautifully and cos he sees lots of stuff just the way they are . This is pic taken in Novi Sad,a city in Serbia-Novak with his brothers  from OS www.novak-djokovic.com/*waiting patiantly for the day when Nole will kick Feds butt * |

21.02.2007. [23:55] Novak Djokovic reaches Rotterdam quarterfinals!
Fifth-seeded Serbian, Novak Djokovic secured a place in the quarterfinals of the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam on Wednesday with a 6:7 (8:10), 6:1, 6:3 win over Romanian qualifier Andrei Pavel, 120th ranked in the world.
In the first set that left 59 minutes Djokovic was broken in the fifth game, made a break back when Pavel was serving for the opening set. Although he had two set points in the tiebreker on 6:4, Novak missed his opportunities as Pavel made great reversal to take the set 7:6 (10:8).
Djokovic has started second set with offensive strokes, broke Pavel in the first game to take 2:0 lead. Until the end of the set 14th ranked in the world took other two breaks for 6:1.
In the deciding set Djokovic broke his opponent in the sixth game what was enough to move into the quarterfinals, where he meets the winner of the duel between Tommy Robredo (#7) and Rik de Voest (#135) on Friday.
Tournament director Richard Krajicek expects to a bright future for Djokovic: "I think he'll climb into the ATP top 5 by the end of 2007."
