Djoko over zijn winstpartij tegen Golubev

The third-ranked player on the ATP World Tour raced through the opening set in a mere 21 minutes, limiting his opponent to six points total. He was broken in the first game of the second set, but got back on serve at 3-all and broke Golubev for a fifth time to claim the win in 59 minutes.

“It was great start of the tournament, “ he said. “With those first matches you don't know what to expect… I really tested myself today, because I had Golubev, who is coming up from big Davis Cup wins, and he's a very good player. He showed that in the second set. He started hitting the ball from the baseline really hard. But I was in the control most of the match. I am really happy with the way I was playing. I want to keep on moving.”
