Nole is off to a winning start to the season.
World no.1 Novak Djokovic was dominant on United Cup debut on Sunday.
In his first official match of the 2024 ATP season, Novak eased past Zhang Zhizhen 6-3, 6-2 to give Serbia a 1-0 lead in Group E clash with China in Perth.
Djokovic was rock-solid in all aspects of his game as he clinched a 74-minute win in his first ATP H2H meeting with the world no.58.
Novak broke once in the first set and twice in the second, pushing Serbia in front ahead of the WTA match.
In the second clash today, Zheng Qinwen defeated No. 119 Olga Danilovic 6-4, 6-2. The victory sent the Group E tie between China and Serbia into a deciding mixed doubles rubber.
Qinwen will team with Zhang Zhizhen with a chance to send China (1-0) through to the United Cup quarterfinals, having already secured a 3-0 sweep of the Czech Republic on Day 2. Serbia will put its hopes of winning its opening tie and remaining in contention on the shoulders of Danilovic and Novak Djokovic.
