Novak Djokovic said he had “a good feeling” about his form at the start of his French Open campaign after he took his first step forward in Paris with a comfortable 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 first-round win against Mackenzie McDonald of the US.
On Saturday, Djokovic won the 100th tour-level title of his career at the Geneva Open by beating Hubert Hurkacz in a tough final after trailing by a break in the final set. Rather than celebrating another significant milestone, the 38-year-old’s focus had to shift immediately towards recovering physically and adjusting to the conditions at Roland Garros.
