Win prolongs sport’s most dominant head-to-head recordSerbian triumphs 6-3, 6-3 in Brisbane International last 16
Novak Djokovic extended the most dominant head-to-head record in the history of tennis by defeating Gaël Monfils 6-3, 6-3 to reach the quarter-finals of the Brisbane International on Thursday night.
The victory marks Djokovic’s 20th career victory over Monfils, who is still searching for his first win over the Serbian after competing against each other on the professional circuit for 20 years. Rafael Nadal’s 18-0 record over Richard Gasquet is the second most lopsided record in the sport. “[Monfils’] game suits me well,” said Djokovic, smiling. “To some extent the more you win against someone, the happier you are to play him.”
