Novak Djokovic is in cruise control in Paris, but an injury is lurking.
The world no.1 had absolutely no problems to dispatch Muller 6-1 6-4 6-4 in just 1 hour and 50 minutes. Match Stats. Djokovic was always in full control to break his opponent early in each set (3-1, 2-1 and 2-1).
Hip injury for Nole?
The world no.1 had a little (we hope little) problem to his hip during the match to receive a treatment “Well, thankfully it’s nothing major. So it’s not a concern for the next match, which is the most important thing, obviously. It wasn’t pleasant with the conditions that were changing today, and I think a little bit of heavier conditions made the court a little bit more wet and it was pretty slippery.
So I think that’s when it happened, I made a couple of slides that were quite, I’d say, unusual with change of directions. And it happened in those dynamic movements, jammed the hip a little bit. Thankfully it’s nothing serious, really. It’s going to be fine.”
Next vs. Kokkinakis
Nole will play Thanasi Kokkinakis in the 3rd round. We can’t see many problems for him to get to the 4th round, unless that problem to the hip becomes something more…
