REUTERS: World number one Novak Djokovic produced a majestic display in a 7-5 6-3 victory over American John Isner on Thursday to extend his winning streak in Asia and reach the Shanghai Masters quarter-finals.
"It's always a big challenge returning the serve of Isner," Djokovic said of his 6-foot-10-inch opponent."He's got one of the biggest serves of all time. With that height, the serve is a huge weapon and huge advantage. Djokovic, the defending champion, will next play Greek sixth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas who beat Poland's Hubert Hurkacz 7-5 3-6 7-6 in the only three-setter of the day.Twice champion Roger Federer was far from his best but did enough to overcome David Goffin 7-6 6-4. Federer committed 40 unforced errors but saved five set points in the opening set.
"I think he was very clear in his shot selection... He was super fast on his feet today which made it really hard for me to get my freebies and winners off the baseline because he was getting to all of them."
