Novak Djokovic vs Sergiy Stakhovsy

Novak Djokovic and Sergiy Stakhovsy have played each other four times in their career. The two first met in the second round of the 2009 Roland Garros. Entering the main draw as a qualifier, Sergiy indulged in some high-level hitting with Djokovic. However, even after a high amount of effort, Sergiy failed to withstand the 4th seeded Serbian’s roaring game, resulting in Djokovic winning in straight sets.

The two next faced each other in the opening round of the 2010 ATP 500 Rotterdam Open. Seeking revenge for his previous loss, Sergiy started the game on a decent note. However, losing the first round 6-2, he was forced to retire in the second set after suffering a knee injury.

However, repeating the previous results, it was Djokovic who came out victorious 7-6,6-3. A similar result was seen in 2015 Qatar Open, with Djokovic again winning in straight sets.
