Djokovic easily moves on at Shanghai Masters

SHANGHAI — Pursuing a 100th career title, Novak Djokovic had an easier time in his second match at the Shanghai Masters in ousting Flavio Cobolli 6-1, 6-2 on Tuesday.Djokovic clinched the match with his 19th winner, placing a forehand behind the Italian, who was racing back across the baseline after being pushed wide by the service.The fourth-seeded Serb did not allow a break point in the third round, after previously being stretched to two tiebreakers and saving set points against Alex Michelsen of the United States.”Cobolli was evidently exhausted after last night’s match,” Djokovic said of his opponent, who had advanced by beating three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka. “I think that has taken a toll, physically, on him today.”Djokovic, who has won four of his 99 titles in Shanghai, next faces 61st-ranked Roman Safiullin, who upset Frances Tiafoe 5-7, 7-5, 7-6 (5).Novak Djokovic will next face Roman Safiullin at the Shanghai Masters as he pursues a 100th career…
