Grigor Dimitrov replaces Djokovic in match against Kyrgios and then defeats him in two sets

Novak Djokovic was supposed to take on Nick Kyrgios at the World Tennis League but he pulled out due to not feeling well with Grigor Dimitrov replacing him.

He replaced Djokovic well as he stunned Kyrgios 7-6(5) 6-3. Not only did he win the match, he also won the tie for his team against all odds. It was a superb display from Dimitrov all around impressing everyone. Djokovic was the one who was supposed to play Kyrgios but he pulled out last second after not feeling well.

It was a strange decision as he felt fine during the day dancing on the court during changeovers. The crowd wasn't particularly happy but the match itself was pretty solid. The first set ended in a tiebreak, one that Dimitrov won 7-5. The match had a fast pace lasting only 67 minutes overall.

The second set was even simpler for Dimitrov who managed to break Kyrgios and bring the match to a close. Not the best effort from Kyrgios but he's looked rather lacklustre to start the year.
