Djokovic wins on return to Beijing
ATP reports a 6-3, 7-6(2) victory over Nuno Borges at the China Open.
Novak Djokovic defeated Nuno Borges 6-3, 7-6(2) in his opening match at the China Open in Beijing on September 30, according to the ATP Tour's match report. The ATP lists the match duration as one hour and 51 minutes.
The result takes Djokovic into the next round. The second set was decided by a tie-break; the notation in brackets records Borges' points in that tie-break, not a third set score.
The ATP says this was Djokovic's first appearance at the event since 2015 and records his Beijing match record as 30 wins without a defeat after the victory. Those are event-specific figures, not an unbeaten claim across his entire tour season.
The report also notes a medical timeout during the second set. This summary does not diagnose a condition or infer availability for future matches from that timeout. The confirmed fact is the completed result reported by the tour.
