Well Djokovic looked fairly strong for someone who has not played tennis for a number of weeks!
Easy enough win over a potentially tricky Safiulin 6-1 and 6-2.
You're right, there was almost no threat at all from Safiulin for Djokovic, and he made it to the next round fairly easily. Today Djokovic will face Musetti, the tennis player who beat him last year in this tournament, if I'm not mistaken, I don't know if this Italian tennis player will be able to beat Djokovic, and if Musetti manages to beat Djokovic then this year there will be three Italian players who have beaten him.
Daniil Medvedev was eliminated in this tournament to Khachanov and it was not surprising because clay is a surface he doesn't like.
Zverev lost the first set to Tsitsipas and in the second set his serve was broken by Tsitsipas, my prediction is that it will only take two sets for Tsitsipas to win.
Djokovic is struggling in this match. He was losing the first set but was able to turn it around and take the first set. I think after winning the first set Djokovic will easily beat Musseti in the second set but still anything can happen.
Medvedev is bad on clay and he himself told everyone that he hates playing on clay so this is such a big surprise that he was eliminated again on clay.
Yup, a different performance from Djokovic today, Musetti gave him a good match.
Medvedev is just not himself on clay, he is frustrated, he was giving out a lot.
Did anyone see Tsitsipas v Zverev today? absolutely great match, Tsitsipas was fantastic,
its veen a while that he was this good eventhough in the second set he was up 5-0 but
Zverev caught up to bring the second set to a tie break.
Live right now Humbert vs Sonego. Match enough balanced match the two players have won both one set...
Now they started the third set, it deserve a view, there are very loud supporters for both players (that is not pretty common...)
edit: first breakpoint just win by Humbert...
ONG what a noisy bunch of kids that were cheering on both players, I dont think I ever
heard such loud supporters even at the AO!
Humbert was able to beat Sonego, the French man us playing fairly consistently lately.
