#1 Novak Djokovic vs Juan Martin Del Potro
Section-8 of the draw is very tricky with a Zverev-Kyrgios encounter on one side and the highly anticipated Djokovic-Del Potro match on the other side. The two will be locking horns for the second time within a span of nearly two weeks as they met previously at the Mexican Open where the Argentine gave Djokovic a run for his money before losing in three sets.
Both Djokovic and Del Potro have had some very close contests in the recent past with the Serb’s last straight set win over Del Potro coming way back in 2013 at the Dubai Tennis Championships. The Argentine’s, meanwhile, came seven months ago during the Rio Olympics.
Both players had straight set wins in the second round and even though there is a huge gulf in their rankings, a match between Djokovic and Del Potro is hardly expected to be one-sided.
