Djokovic Extends Hot Streak in China Open
BEIJING — Novak Djokovic kept his juggernaut rolling at the China Open by improving to 26-0 with a 6-2 6-1 win over local hope Zhang Ze on Thursday which tied him with Jimmy Connors for the second-longest unbeaten record at an ATP Tour event.
The Serbian top seed, a five-time winner at the China Open, is now only behind Rafa Nadal who had a 31-0 run in the French Open at Roland Garros.
The world number one was unable to identify any particular reason for his performance at the tournament and said the conditions here were just in sync with his game.
"The conditions are definitely suitable to my game," Djokovic was quoted as saying by the ATP website (www.atpworldtour.com).
