20th victory against Gaël Monfils for Novak Djokovic at the Brisbane tournament

Even when he was (a little) under pressure, Djokovic had no doubts in this game played at a good pace, not hesitating to go to the net at the slightest opportunity. More regular than his opponent, good legs, very solid in defense, efficient in serving, he qualified for the 217th quarter-final on the circuit, where he will face the American Opelka (25 aces in 8th against Arnaldi).
