Djokovic (Beijing)

2nd week of the Asian swing with two 500-a-side tournaments in Beijing and Tokyo, with all the top tennis players (except Federer and Murray) present. Let me remind you that in the 2 tournaments we had last week, Ferrer won the title in Malaysia 2-0 over Feliciano Lopez and Berdych beat Garcia Lopez 2-0 in Shenzhen. Of the 2 tournaments this week, the strongest name base is that of Beijing, as Djokovic and Nadal, Ferrer, Tsonga, Berdych and Raonic are down. Already in the first round, Tsonga and Raonic are out, who lost today to Haider Maurer and Troitsky respectively.
Djokovic is the big favorite since this season the only tennis player who can threaten him is Federer, with the Swiss being thrown into battle in the Shanghai tournament next week.
In Beijing, the Serb has the same number of titles in 5 appearances. In 2009 he defeated Cilic 2-0, in 2010 Ferrer 2-0, while after an absence of one year he returned in 2012 and also defeated Tsonga 2-0. in the final he easily defeated Nadal 6-3,6-4. Let me remind you that the Serb has lost only twice in China since 2010 and those by Federer at the Shanghai Masters. According to the program, Djokovic will face Bolelli in the first round and from there on, Zang, Robredo, Ferrer and one of Berdych or Nadal in the final.
With Ferrer, Berdych and Nadal as their main opponents, Djokovic will once again take a walk in Beijing. If I were over 1,30 to win this tournament, I would not give it to him for any reason.
