DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Feb. 27 (UPI) -- World No. 1 Novak Djokovic opened defense of his title at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships with a win Monday but his brother didn't fare as well.
Djokovic, in his first tournament since winning the Australian Open, took out Cedrik-Marcel Stebe 6-4, 6-2. Djokovic won more than 70 percent of the points on serve and Stebe wasn't able to convert any of his three break chances.
