Novak Djokovic put on a masterclass as he thumped Marin Cilic 6-3, 6-4 in straight sets to win ATP 250 Tel Aviv Open.
Djokovic, playing in his first singles event since winning a seventh Wimbledon crown in July, launched an early attack and broke Cilic in the second game.
The title should come as a major boost for Djokovic, who missed the US Open and the North American hardcourt swing due to his decision not to get vaccinated against Covid-19 before returning to action at the Laver Cup team event in London.
The 35-year-old’s next stop is the ATP 500 Astana Open, which kicks off on Monday and will feature world number one Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev. This will be the perfect opportunity for betting live.
