Madrid, May 4

Novak Djokovic feels like the hard work is starting to pay off. Trying to regain his best form after a slow start to the season, Djokovic looked sharp in his opener at the Madrid Open on Tuesday, defeating Gael Monfils 6-3 6-2 to advance to a third-round match against Andy Murray.

It was the Serb’s 18th straight win over Monfils.

He next faces Murray, a two-time champion in Madrid who continued his latest comeback with a 6-1 3-6 6-2 win over Denis Shapovalov.

Rafa Nadal returned from an injury layoff to beat Miomir Kecmanovic 6-1 7-6(4) and reach the last-16.

In the women’s draw, American Jessica Pegula defeated Bianca Andreescu 7-5 6-1. Ons Jabeur beat former world No. 1 Simona Halep 6-3 6-2. — Agencies

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
