Novak Djokovic admitted he had to "fight" to come back from a set down to beat world number 36, Hungary's Marton Fucsovics at the Qatar Open.

The world number one survived a huge scare to eventually triumph 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 Wednesday and admitted his opponent was "very close to the win".

"For the first two sets he was the better player," said two-time Qatar Open champion Djokovic.

"He played really well, smart, changing up the rhythm and the pace of the ball and moving me around.

"I was kind of in a corner and I had to find my way and fight my way through."
