Novak Djokovic qualified for the second round of Roland Garros 2016 after defeating Aljaz Bedene bold in three sets in the shift that closed the day at the Philippe Chatrier. Djokovic had to show off his full repertoire of strokes to not be surprised and seal their presence in the second week of the tournament, which already expects Roberto Bautista.
Novak Djokovic. The world number one has had to play his best game in this edition of Roland Garros 2016 just when it was thought that the injury of Rafa Nadal left him a clear path to the final. Serbian tennis player was found face a young respondón in Bedene and was forced to show all their quality to avoid any possibility of postponement of the match or comeback of his rival. It was a good reminder of what awaits the players on the ATP prevailing in the coming years, as the generational change is closer.
Aljaz Bedene. Born in Ljubljana and British passport, at 26 is difficult to categorize Aljaz Bedene as one of the players of the new batch representing Alexander Zverev and company, but showed how to face a tie against a player elite on center court. He fell in three sets but kept his dignity and came to rile on more than one occasion to Djokovic did not expect to meet such resistance.
The day came with trap. The withdrawal through injury of Rafa Nadal 24 hours before and the rain stopped the tennis activity in Paris for more than three hours cooled enough tempers, and the superiority of Novak Djokovic about Aljaz Bedene was big enough to think of another scenario it was not a placid victory of world number one. The reality was for very different paths, and the truth is that Djokovic had to sweat every point in a tough match two hours in which the three sets do not reflect how difficult it was for Belgrade take forward the party.
Bedene itself went colder and Djokovic met forecasts with relatively normal, but gradually the Ljubljana was dropping his arm and looking for angles to be grimacing in the face of Nole . Serbian effectiveness was decreasing with the passage of the games, but managed to get by breaking the serve to go to Bedene at key moments. This allowed him to reach the third set, in which the lack of light threatened to postpone the match to Sunday morning. A Djokovic he came a sudden rush and nervousness that his opponent to star earned a master's own tennis points. With the last rays of light filtering through the steps of Paris, Djokovic stepped on the gas on time to ensure the presence in the second round.
Our opinion
Roland Garros is a tournament where unpredictability has greater influence than in the rest of the large, which may lead to an unexpected setback by the favorites. Murray has already had to taste the bitterness of playing two five - set matches and only the great quality of Djokovic prevented Bedene have more than one minute glory in the center. Without Rafa Nadal on his favorite territory, it seems to face all Nole get finally their first trophy in Paris, but has to tread eye because in the second week there will be no pardons. Roberto Bautista will be next to test their favoritism.
