Rome Masters live: Novak Djokovic vs F. Krajinović preview

Novak Djokovic has bounced back well from his disappointing run at the US Open, where he was disqualified for accidentally hitting a line judge with a ball. Before his default, Djovokic was enjoying an unbeaten run in 2020. Like Djokovic confirmed at a press conference before Rome Masters 2020, and as his performance has confirmed, the default has not had a negative impact on his playing. After receiving a first-round bye, Djokovic breezed past Italy's Salvatore Caruso in round two. 

The top seed is chasing his fifth Rome Masters title. If he goes all the way, it will also be his 10th finals appearance at the Rome ATP 1000 Masters event. If there are no major upsets, he will, in all probability meet arch-rival and King of Clay Rafael Nadal at the final of the Rome Masters 2020. 

The unseeded Filip Krajinović is coming into the third round with two straight-set wins over 16th seed Felix Auger Aliassime, and Marco Cecchinato. He also reached the third round at the US Open where he was defeated by David Goffin and went all the way to the quarter-finals of the Cincinnati Masters where he lost to Milos Raonic. His best performance this year came at the Open Sud de France where he reached the semi-finals.
