Good time for  Novak Djokovic; marks his first winnings of 2022 in Dubai

Novak Djokovic won his first match of the year when he beat Lorenzo Musetti in  Dubai Championships. Score 6-3, 6-3. Djokovic couldn’t defend his Australian Open title last month because he was deported from the country for being unvaccinated. Despite that, The United Arab Emirates allowed him entry, and Djokovic cashed in at a tournament he’s won five times.

He next faces Karen Khachanov or Alex de Minaur. Andy Murray won his first match in Dubai since his title run in 2017. He beat Australian qualifier Christopher O’Connell 6-7 (4), 6-3, 7-5 after nearly three hours.
