Novak Djokovic qualifies to Semifinals of Qatar ExxonMobil Open
Doha, January 04, 2018 - Serbian Novak Djokovic was made to work hard once more at the Qatar Exxonmobil Open at Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex on Thursday as the World No. 1 fought back from a set down for the second day running. Twenty-four hours after a comeback win over Marton Fucsovics, the 2016 and 2017 champion knocked out fifth-seeded Georgian Nikoloz Basilashvili 4-6, 6-3, 6-4.
Djokovic, who clinched year-end No. 1 in the ATP Rankings for the fifth time last season, will next challenge seventh-seeded Spaniard Roberto-Bautista Agut for a place in Saturday's final. Djokovic leads Bautista Agut 7-1 in the FedEx ATP Head2Head series.
Djokovic seeks to capture his third Qatar Open title, following his victories in 2016 and 2017.
The Serbian had a great season in 2018 and won Wimbledon and US Open titles, as well as a number of other titles.
