Djokovic eyes his 38th ATP 1000 Masters title

Djokovic fought past Felix Auger-Aliassime in their maiden ATP match-up. He is seeking his 38th ATP Masters 1000 title and sixth at the Italian Open. Plus, he has a chance to record his 1000th ATP tour win against Casper Ruud.

Djokovic dished out four aces and converted three of his eight break points. He pocketed 82 points to Aliassime's 68. He won 53 points from his serves and enjoyed a 74% win on his first serve.

I thought it was high-level tennis: Novak Djokovic

Djokovic said that it was a game of high-level tennis and lauded the youngster for a fight-back in the quarters. "I thought it was high-level tennis. He [Aliassime] did ask me to raise the level and I had to play consistently well. I thought I could have finished the job earlier... but credit to him for fighting back," he said.
