Top-ranked Novak Djokovic secured an end-of-year bonus of $1.6 million by winning his opening round at tennis’s Paris Masters.
The Serb beat Croatia’s Ivan Dodig 6-4, 6-3 at the BNP Paribas Masters at the Palais Omnisports in Bercy. His participation in Paris had been in doubt after Djokovic struggled with a shoulder injury during his three-set loss to Japan’s Kei Nishikori in the semifinals of an event in Basel, Switzerland four days ago.
