(March 27, 2011) On Sunday night, Novak Djokovic only allowed James Blake two games before dominating the match 6-2, 6-0 in 52 minutes in Miami. Nole moves onto the third round without having to dodge any bullets to play countryman Viktor Troicki.
Before playing Blake, Djokovic said, "Well, you know, James has been around for a while. He's a great competitor. He's very exciting to watch. He hits the ball very clean, very powerful. He's a great mover. He's very fast. You know, he's gonna be having a lot of support from the crowd. You know, it's definitely not an easy one. I have to step on the court and be on top of my game."
Djokovic's winning streak is at 22 (that's including his Davis Cup wins). He currently has the third longest winning streak from the begining of the year. Ivan Lendl had 25 wins in a row in 1984 and John McEnroe had 39 wins in a row in 1984.
Blake fell out along with fellow Americans Sam Querrey, losing to Serbian Viktor Troicki, and Alex Bogomolov Jr, beaten by John Isner.
