Very promising from Novak... Fitness looked better, and BH was miles better compared to Barcelona BP conversion 43% (3/7) compared to 17% (Kei, 1/6) #Djokovic

I think it’s fortunate that @DjokerNole will fight with Nishikori for the 1st round. The former invincible aura may come back to him. Idemo Nole ! #Djokovic #MMOPEN
Looking forward to this Djokovic match. I actually want him to win 🙈 feel sorry for him a little now 😂 #MadridOpen
Definitely the best win of the 2018 season from Novak Djokovic. Consistent serving, elite level return game, and great movement were on display as he beats Kei Nishikori 7-5, 6-4 to move into the second round of the #MadridOpen.
Djokovic with quite possibly the worst shot in the history of the ATP

Djokovic. "It was strange to play Kei in the first round of a Masters 1000. But I think it was a great match. It could have gone either way. It was not much separating us. He is great."
Madrid Round 1: Kei Nishikori vs. Novak Djokovic Not a typo. Not an alternate reality.
Novak Djokovic beats Kei Nishikori in straight sets, 7-5, 6-4. Wins with a break. Best he has played in a while.
"Djokovic seemingly defied physics by lashing one smash into the net early in the second." Your fave would never defy physics. Take that! 😬
Good win by Djokovic! Sad that Nishikori loses so early in the tournament though
