Djokovic quits Dubai with eye problem, ends 17-finals streak

World number one Novak Djokovic's stunning streak of 17 successive finals came to an end Thursday when a right eye infection caused the 11-time Grand Slam champion to quit his Dubai quarter-final against Feliciano Lopez. "The eye problem will fade away in a few days," said Djokovic, who conducted his post-match press conference wearing sunglasses. Sixth seed Lopez said he only discovered Djokovic's problem when the pair shook hands at the net.
