Djokovic through to 2nd round in Dubai
- 5 years ago
Top seed Novak Djokovic began his defense of the Dubai Championship title with a victory over Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan. Djokovic, who is looking for his fifth title in Dubai, saved four break points and contained a late rally by the big-serving Uzbek. Afterwards, the Serb said he had suffered a little after a break of over a month. -- Mornings @ ANC, February 26, 2014.
