Nowadays we are used of Djokovic “serbinating” his opponents match after match, so if the world no.1 battles a bit in his opener things seem strange.
This is what has just happened in Paris with Nole defeating world no.40 Tomas Bellucci “only” 7-5 6-3. Nole had to even face a slow start as he was broken in the 5th game of the 1st set to “counter-break” in the following game and break again Tomas (at love) in the 12th game of opener. In the second set things got better for Djokovic that didn’t drop any service game to break Bellucci in the 8th game (5-3).
The world no.1 has now won 24 consecutive sets (and 18th consecutive matches).

Djokovic: Bellucci likes these conditions
Nole commented “Bellucci is someone who likes these particular conditions, likes to create spin, especially from forehand side and plays pretty. It wasn’t easy to make a lot of winners. He was reaching out and covering the court well. So it was a good test, first indoor match for me.”
Next vs. Simon
Nole will play Simon in the next match. Head to head is 8-1 for the Serbian that has won the last 8 matches.
