Novak Djokovic, in his line in recent times. Not fu or fa. Without giving assurance last season, when he won three Grand Slam titles and the ATP Finals, including Roland Garros.
He returned to the land of Paris without hesitation. I still developed a few more after a performance that was perfect, at home, to overcome an accessible first round because in front of me I had a rival who hardly plays singles and has never competed in a Grand Slam main draw from the 2021 US Open.
Such is the difference in potential that there is no risk here Novak Djokovic current, which did not even rise to the game and the sensations of playing ATP in Geneva last week. It was to relaunch himself, his desire was stopped dead in the Czech semis Tomas Macac.
The lottery helped him, and he passed the procedure. He defeated the French Pierre-Hugues Herbert, 36 years old and number 142, 6-4, 7-6 (3) and 6-4 in 2h.31′. Lackluster and with great tension among members of his technical team. More matches than match progress required.
But Djokovic is upset after his dismal results in recent months. He wants to rebuild himself, regain his essence, and it costs him. He’s not lacking in experience in these situations at age 37, but it’s strange,
He will continue to test, on Thursday, with the Spaniards Roberto Carballeswhich removed the French Constant Lestienne 6-3, 7-5, 4-6 and 6-2. He commented that he had problems that made it difficult for him to focus on tennis, although he did not want to give any clues about their nature.
The defending crown, also a number one that will mathematically yield to the Italian Jannik Sinner if it doesn’t reach the final or the transalpine.
Lots of complaints, sometimes too brooding, no initiative. It accuses a lack of trust. In the ninth game of the third set, near the closing pass, he fell to the ground. Bad support, and on the ground. A metaphor for not playing it safe right now. But with him you don’t know, later he was able to restore a compromised situation.
“It’s a big mountain to climb,” ‘Nole’ described the situation after the shutout which came at eleven o’clock at night with a double fault from Herbert.
