Djokovic Beats Lopez to Reach Shanghai Masters Quarterfinals

SHANGHAI — Novak Djokovic reached the quarterfinals of the Shanghai Masters on Thursday with a 6-2, 6-3 win over Feliciano Lopez of Spain.

The top-seeded Serbian player earned his 14th straight victory dating back to the U.S. Open and has now won 16 sets in a row. He's been winning so convincingly since the start of the China Open last week, he hasn't surrendered more than five games in a single match.

"You can't just expect to win all the time very comfortably, but I've been doing so for last week and a half," he said.
