Novak Djokovic had a good start of his French Open campaign at least in terms of results. The former world no.1 was not expected to struggle at all against the world no. 134 Rugerio Dutra Da Silva, but it was interesting to see the fitness level of the Serbian.
Eventually, Nole won in straight sets, but he had to recover from a 0-2 deficit in both the first and the second set before conquering the contest with a 6-3 6-4 6-4 scoreline.
You can’t always have the best. DJOKOVIC

“You don’t always get to feel your best, but all you can do is try and get the best out of it.” Then =, talking about how tough the tennis season is, he added The fact is we have the longest season of all sports, and that is, unfortunately, hurting a lot of players.
We all try to be fit, get our bodies and mind in the best possible state so we can always compete at the highest level, but it’s not always possible.”
