SYDNEY - World number one Rafa Nadal overcame a temporary blip on his way to victory at the ATP Cup on Saturday, shortly after Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic survived a tough battle against fit-again South African Kevin Anderson.
Nadal was broken in his first service game but found his groove immediately to break back and another break of Georgian Nikoloz Basilashvili’s serve was enough for him to win the opening set. Anderson, 33, returned to court for the first time since Wimbledon and played only five tournaments in 2019 due to elbow and knee injuries.
“What a way to start the year,” Djokovic said. “I started off extremely well, I was 4-1 up and had some break points but then Kevin upped his game. Coric’s win over the 2019 ATP Finals runner-up was enough for Croatia as 2014 U.S. Open champion Marin Cilic earlier rallied to beat Dennis Novak 6-7 6-4 6-4.
