Novak Djokovic secured a prestigious victory against the 2014 US Open champion: Marin Cilic (7-6, 6-4).

In his return to the courts since his US Open semifinal loss to Alcaraz (6-4, 7-6, 6-2), Novak Djokovic showed solid form. In just under 2 hours, the record holder for Grand Slam titles qualified for the third round of the Chinese tournament and will now face Germany's Hanfmann.

The Serbian, who has not yet announced his participation in the Turin Masters, produced several high-quality points during the match. As evidenced by this diving forehand into the Croatian's corner, all under the watchful eyes of world number 11, Holger Rune.

A point worth watching again below.
