Djokovic is already angry in his first match at Roland Garros

success of Novak Djokovic by 6-3, 6-2 and 7-6 (1) in 2h.26′. The Serbian, 36 years old and world number 3, defeated a Grand Slam rookie, the American Alexander Kovacevic.

Logically, Kovacevic he experienced the impression of having his idol in front of him in a sanctuary of this sport, the central Philippe Chatrier. A meeting with no more for ‘No’, but not so much because he indicated a certain discomfort in himself, perhaps the product of an irregular tour of the clay that left a lot of unknowns for himself and that it was up to him to clean up them or not.

The strong wind didn’t help either. Sometimes violent with such intensity.

Dominated with authority, beginning the third set, and Djokovic anger Heard some sporadic whistling as he was arguing with the chair umpire. Djokovic protested because he considered that the net tape sensor was not working, that his ball did not touch it, much less. Dialogue in vain

1-0 and 0-40, three first ‘break’ balls against Djokovic. He picked them up and screamed wildly. A few minutes later he turns to his box, he complains. He had a ‘break’ up twice, but had to wait for the ‘tiebreak’ to be sentenced.

The Australian Open champion will be angry. He faces the chance to win a third Roland Garros, which means adding a 23rd Grand Slam title, holding the record for the most ‘big’ crowns for the first time, he will leave 22 in Rafael Nadala clay king at home due to injury, away from his temple for the first time since 2005.

However, in the clay session the standouts have been Carlos Alcaraz and, late in Rome, Daniel Medvedev. Djokovic surrendered in the second round of Monte Carlo against the Italian Lorenzo Musetticannot be with his countryman dusan lajovic in Banja Luka. And, a more alarming reference for him, he surrendered Rome to the Dane Holger Rune in the rooms, when he wanted to push himself towards Paris.

Along the way, also discomfort in the right elbow. He didn’t wear any sun protection in the French capital. Yes, I show a bad attitude when inviting a sleep appointment. Kovacevic they have lost their last four games on clay this season.

Djokovic will have a more interesting test in the second round against the Hungarian Marton Fuscsovics31 years old and Hindi.

quite angry Djokovicalthough not often this state of mind serves as a vehicle for concentration, but does what he always does: nineteen participations in Paris, he successfully passed all the premieres.
