ATP Indian Wells Doubles: Novak Djokovic and Fabio Fognini end run
Novak Djokovic and Fabio Fognini's fascinating run in Indian Wells has ended. The Serb and Italian player lost in three sets, 7-6(5), 2-6, 10-6, against Marcelo Melo and Lukasz Kubot. “I think the fact we played together for a long time, this makes a difference. We know against these guys we had to play to win. I think we were aggressive, how we should be, in important moments. We do what we have to do and most of the time for us, it pays off. I’m very happy with this, so let’s go forward for tomorrow to the finals. We’re really looking forward to this one", said Melo.
Melo now would love to go all the way, as they face Nikola Mektic and Horacio Zeballos. “Now we face two doubles players", said the Brazilian. "They know how we play, we know how they play, so it’s going to be a very strategic match. Like today we have to go and try our best, focus, because if not they’re going to win. They’re such great players. We have been playing very good, so I hope we keep this level and hold the trophy.”
Kubot concluded: “They have a lot of wins together this year already and are also full of confidence, so we’re looking forward for another [tough] match. But we want to enjoy the match we just finished."
Djokovic and Fognini will now play the Miami Open that starts on Wednesday.
