Resurgent Serb taps reserves to outgun Canadian
It was missing for a while, but Novak Djokovic rediscovered his warrior spirit to tame Canada's Milos Raonic 7-6 (6), 7-6 (5) in a riveting duel to advance from his group at the ATP World Tour Finals on Tuesday.
The 29-year-old Serb's recent malaise has cost him the world No 1 ranking he held for 122 weeks, but when backed into a corner by an inspired Raonic, he responded in the belligerent manner that has earned him 12 Grand Slam titles.
