Novak Djokovic defeated Matteo Berrettini in the opening match of the 2019 Nitto ATP Finals in London 6-2 and 6-1.
It was a really quick start for Djokovic as he spent on the court just a bit less than an hour. It was the match between second-seeded 16-time Grand Slam champion and just 23 years old promising talent. Therefore, everybody expected Novak to win the match comfortably.
Following the Paris Masters victory, Djokovic came to London relaxed and ready to fight for the year-end no.1 spot. The beginning of the match was very calm when both players held their service games in the first 4 games. But then it was all about Djokovic. He won the following 8 games to claim the first set 6-2 and secure the lead 4-0 in the second.
However, young Italian was still able to fight as he broke Djokovic's service game to make it 4-1, but Djokovic showed his best tennis again and won the second set 6-1. Djokovic earned the first point in the group stage and Berrettini will need to fight in the other matches if he wants to advance.

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?mandoist09-11-2026
- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026
- Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026
- Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.mandoist06-11-2026
- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
