Novak Djokovic waited five years to play a match again at the BNP Paribas Open. And, after five years away (for one reason or another) from the ATP Masters 1000 in Indian Wells, the Serbian returned with a victory. He suffered, to tell the truth, always a victory.
Nole beat the Australian Aleksandar Vukic, beaten in three long sets in over two hours and ten minutes of play, 6-2 5-7 6-3. The success coincided with his 400th ATP Masters 1000 tournament victory, yet another fact that celebrates his extraordinary career.
