Roman Jebavy and Jiri Vesely did not put a wrong foot during Sunday's doubles final at the TEB BNP Paribas Istanbul Open.

But in other ways, much is different for the World No. 1 and No. 2, as both players head to this week's Mutua Madrid Open seeking similar reboots to their 2017 campaigns if they plan to keep their comfortable advantages atop the Emirates ATP Rankings. Djokovic, the 2016 Madrid champion, will be defending 1,000 Emirates ATP Rankings points, and Murray, last...
