After returning to Beijing for the first time in 11 years, Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic kept his unbeaten China Open streak alive. In the men’s singles first round of the 2026 China Open on Wednesday evening, sixth-seeded Djokovic defeated Portugal’s Nuno Borges 6-3, 7-6(2), improving his China Open record to 30-0. Djokovic is hugely popular in China, and the Diamond Court at the National Tennis Center was nearly full tonight.
