Roland Garros 2016 Djokovic-Bedene: A warning for the future (6-2, 6-3, 6-3)

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.

Roland Garros 2016, Kuznetsova-Muguruza: Blow on the table (3-6 and 4-6)

Garbiñe Muguruza is already in the quarterfinals of Roland Garros 2016 after defeating Svetlana Kuznetsova forcefully by 3-6. The fourth seed had a tough test against the tennis technique St. Petersburg, but was able to impose his game without the cold morning of Parisian affect him. In the quarter he will face the winner of Begu-Rogers.

Placidly slept the St. Petersburg in the minutes before his match against Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova , working their way through the game. To Muguruza , the world number 15 went asleep to the track, coming down when hispanovenezolana broke serve in the first set key moment, no reaction in the second. It was expected much more of it.

The battle of styles between Svetlana Kuznetsova and Garbiñe Muguruza appeared in the order of play on Sunday as one of the highlights of the day at Roland Garros 2016, and not disappointed at all thanks to Muguruza . Caracas continues its unstoppable progression and left in the lurch a rival high with its aggressive and solvent game increasingly pronounced in his tennis quality. Kuznetsova tried to play more calmly , looking to extend points and unhinge the hispanovenezolana, but Muguruza not go into that game and continued to dictate the script of the game.

The reigning equality seemed to fall apart in the tiebreaker, but Muguruza managed to break the service to get the Russian 4-5, a key moment that Kuznetsova did not quite recover. Once given the first set, to Muguruza only interested fiercely keep hitting the ball until victory fall naturally. There were several breaks by both in the second set, the result of the inevitable improvement in performance Kuznetsova , who after all is a champion of Roland Garros, but there was trembling legs by the de Caracas, which he signed his third consecutive appearance among the top eight players in the Grand Slam of clay. Garbiñe still love to the Philippe Chatrier, as few wise cathedral, which recognizes his talent with applause each time it appears in the tunnel.

Come the moments of truth and does not seem to Garbiñe Muguruza acknowledgment pressure Roland Garros. Few players funneled as well be the focus of attention as the hispanovenezolana, and the second week will definitely have to assume the role of a candidate for the title. I wanted to avoid this responsibility in the first week given his background in New York and Melbourne , but in Paris It is seeing that the path begun with Sam Sumyk begins to bear fruit. Now you can talk about a serious option for the title.
