Djokovic wins a tough first round match against Nishikori. And he seems to have lost even more weight 😐. #MadridOpen

Can't remember the last tennis match I got to sit and watch on TV, but great to see @DjokerNole get the win there. #idemo #MadridOpen

Game, set, and match 7-5 6-4. That was tight match. Very unfortunate they had to kill each other in the 1st round #Djokovic #Nishikori #MadridOpen

Like a nightmare Kei was eliminated by former No.1 at 1st round in Madrid.#madridopen #keinishikori pic.twitter.com/yr4AgU4BF8

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 pic.twitter.com/fmhujRM6Wy

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. "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.

10 minutes from potentially the match of the day, maybe one for the tournament – Kei Nishikori vs Novak Djokovic Madrid R1. Who you got winning this one and in how many sets? #atp #Madrid

— Jake Davies (@jakedavi5) May 7, 2018

Novak Djokovic beats Kei Nishikori in straight sets, 7-5, 6-4. Wins with a break. Best he has played in a while.

— Tom Perrotta (@TomPerrotta) May 7, 2018

"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 https://t.co/R5QEsrzFwk

— Eric Teo (@B1ueflik) May 7, 2018

I mean it's just so far fetched x'D
How could anyone (even quickly reading) glance over "Djokovic" and "Nishikori" and connect the next two names to FS? 😅😅😅
