Tennis French Open : Djokovic Puts U.S. Open Behind Him, Ready To “Go Deep” In Paris

Novak Djokovic got his quest for an 18th Grand Slam title back on track as he commenced his French Open Campaign with a drama free 6-0 6-2 6-3 victory over Mikael Ymer.

Little over three weeks since Djokovic was defaulted in the U.S. Open fourth round for hitting a line judge with a ball, he was a model of self-control as he outclassed the young Swede.

Had court Philippe Chatrier been packed with fans rather than just a smattering because of the Covid-19 Restrictions, Djokovic might have expected some heckling from the sometimes fickle post lunch French Audience.
