Novak Djokovic: 'I Could Have Lost' to Yannick Hanfmann in Shanghai

Down a set to Hanfmann, Djokovic scraped through 4-6, 7-5, 6-3 in 2h42 amid humidity to reach Shanghai’s last 16 for the 11th time. 'I could have lost… he outplayed me for a set and a half,' he said. Hanfmann 'took the ball early' and attacked; Djokovic called the comeback 'like a dream' and was 'proud to overcome this test.'
