Iam curious to see how Djokovic will play against Van Assche tokay. The 2021 French Open junior winner has just entered the top 100 and will certainly play with youthful naivety. That can be an interesting match. Especially since he won against Wawrinka who was actually the better player for most oh the time in that match.
It really was not easy for Djokovic. Van Assche played really well. He won the first set and in set 3 he even made a break right at the beginning. But Djokovic continued to play with concentration and won with two breaks in the end.
Djokovic said, however, that the court was quite slow and that he had never experienced anything like it before.
Tomorrow he will play against Lajovic.
