Defending champion Novak Djokovic started his French Open campaign with a 6-4, 7-6 (3), 6-4 victory over Pierre-Hugues Herbert in the first round. Despite not being at his best, Djokovic acknowledged the solid performance but expressed room for improvement, particularly in return games.
Djokovic, aiming to secure his 25th Grand Slam singles title, emphasized the significance of major tournaments in motivating his daily efforts. With a challenging season so far, Djokovic's win at Roland Garros marked a positive step forward, although he maintained 'low expectations and high hopes' for the tournament.
