Yunchaokete Bu vs Novak Djokovic prediction

Novak Djokovic maintained his perfect record in Beijing with a solid win over Nuno Borges.

The Serb posted a 6-3 7-6 success against the Portuguese to make it 30 straight victories at the tournament. 

The sixth seed will now face home hope, Yunchaokete Bu after the Chinese wildcard claimed a 6-2 5-7 6-4 triumph over Juan Manuel Cerundolo. 

This will be a maiden meeting and one the local spectators and Bu will no doubt savour. 

Djokovic will again be a strong favourite to progress but it is likely to be a similar test to the one he faced with Borges. There were no real signs of issues from previous tournaments and if that remains the case he should pass the test without too much of a scare.
