Novak Djokovic made a triumphant return to the China Open in Beijing, aiming to break a 11-year record at the tournament. The 39-year-old Serbian had previously won the event five times between 2009 and 2015, setting an unprecedented record of 29 wins and zero losses. However, his US Open performance in 2022, where he lost in the first round to world number 49 Mariano Navone, raised concerns about his future in tennis.
Despite these doubts, Djokovic persevered and is now seeking to surpass his own record at the China Open, where he holds the remarkable achievement of 102 titles. The Serb has a perfect winning streak at the event, having won 53 sets without conceding a single loss. While the ATP 500 event attracts several top players, Djokovic has consistently dominated with victories over Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray, Tomas Berdych, and David Ferrer.
This year's China Open may bid farewell to his undefeated streak, as US Open champion Alexander Zverev, now the top seed, will compete for the title after Jannik Sinner dropped out.
