The Serb still holds the first line of the ATP ranking. This season Novak Djokovic has a chance to surpass results of a year ago. Now the 33-year-old tennis player has 4 titles, which is one less than last season. The statistics are amazing so far: 43 wins and 4 losses on all surfaces. After a confident victory on clay in Rome, the native of Belgrade reached the final of the TBG Roland Garros. Joko’s 11-match winning streak was interrupted by his principal rival Rafael Nadal. The Spaniard left no chance for the enemy in the battle for the trophy – 0:6, 2:6, 5:7. Nadal had 18 break points, whereas Djokovic had only 5. The Serb took someone else’s serve only once, the remaining 4 break points Rafa saved. Potential rival of Novak in the next round of the tournament in Vienna is the winner of the pair Borna Coric – Taylor Fritz.
West Brom, unlike Leeds, entered the Premier League in a slightly disassembled state. On the first rounds, this is exactly the impression. The Blackbirds earned two points in five matches, taking 17th place in the championship. The team managed not to lose the meetings with Burnley (0:0) and Chelsea (3:3). Slaven Bilic’s charges lost to Everton (2:5), Leicester (0:3), and Southampton (0:2). However, the WBA does not look as hopeless as Fulham. The WBA is also coming up to the upcoming fight with a mediocre away form. Problems for the blackbirds started back in the Championship on the road. West Brom have won only once in their previous seven official away games. In this case, the WBA suffered four defeats. Two players are injured at West Brom: Sam Field and Hal Robson-Kanu.
