Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic ended a nine-year wait at Indian Wells by defeating American Aleksandar Kovacevic 6-4, 1-6, 6-4, Tuesday WIB, to secure his place in the fourth round of the ATP Masters 1000 tournament for the first time since 2017.
The former world number one overcame adversity for a second consecutive three-set match after battling through a tough opener against Kamil Majchrzak to begin his campaign.
"It was a great performance from Aleks. We know each other. We speak the same language. His whole family is Serbian," Djokovic was quoted as saying by ATP.
