Novak Djokovic continues to circle undeterred. After the slip at the Laver Cup, where Djokovic surprisingly lost to Félix Auger-Aliassime, the Serb won the title in Tel Aviv on Sunday without any danger. In this key, Djokovic continued at the start of the ATP Tour 500 tournament in Astana and beat Cristian Garin 6: 1 and 6: 1. The next opponent will be Dutchman Botic van de Zandschulp in the round of 16.
Marin Cilic, who lost the final in Tel Aviv to Djokovic, also made it into the round of 16 in Astana on Wednesday. Cilic beat Oscar Otte 5:7, 7:6 (4) and 6:2 and is now playing against Karen Khachanov.
Andrey Rublev is already in the quarterfinals after a smooth 6:3 and 6:2 against Zhizhen Zhang. Rublev meets Adrian Mannarino in the round of the last eight, who beat Alcaraz conqueror David Goffin in three sets.
