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

Very promising from Novak…

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

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

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! 😬— C Kristjánsdóttir ●🐊 (@CristinaNcl) May 7, 2018

Good win by Djokovic! Sad that Nishikori loses so early in the tournament though https://t.co/R5QEsrzFwk

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? 😅😅😅— Me & Me (@LazyLys) May 7, 2018
