Those 22 wins include seven wins over Denis Shapovalov, two wins over Adrian Mannarino, two wins over Yoshihito Nishioka and one win each over 11 other lefties (Ramos-Vinolas, Verdasco, Zeballos, Delbonis, Humbert, Moutet, Koepfer, Moraing, Molcan, Draper and Norrie).

His last loss to a lefty other than Nadal: a 6-2, 1-6, 6-3 defeat to Martin Klizan in his opening match in Barcelona in April 2018.

Djokovic has also won 39 of his last 40 matches against left-handers other than Nadal, a stretch that began in May 2016. Since then he’s 39-1 against lefties other than Nadal, the one loss coming to Klizan, and 5-5 against Nadal himself (2-5 on clay, 2-0 on hard and 1-0 on grass).

The Serb only needed 66 minutes to cruise past the No. 12-ranked Norrie in straight sets in Turin on Friday, hitting 21 winners to 16 unforced errors—including 16 to 16 off the ground and 5 aces to 0 double faults.

He was already guaranteed to win his round-robin group going into the match against Norrie, and is set to play Alexander Zverev in the semifinals of the season-ending championships on Saturday.
