Everything easy for Novak Djokovic in the second round of Roland Garros. Roberto Carballes Baena he failed to worry the 24-time slam champion. The Serbian got rid of it with the result of 6-4 6-1 6-2.
he then continues his march towards his fourth title in Paris. Thanks to this result Nole has reached yet another great milestone in his extraordinary career. This is 19 times that Djokovic has reached the third round in the French Slam.
No one had ever succeeded. Even the undisputed record-man of this tournament, Rafael Nadal, winner here 14 times, had succeeded in this feat. But it didn’t end here. That’s 94 victories at Roland Garros.
Only at the Australian Open can the Balkan champion boast such a balance.
Djokovic’s words in the conference
The fire inside him has not yet gone out, but on the contrary, in such events by his own admission it is more intense than ever: “Inside me there is always the belief that I can win a Slam.
That’s why I’m still competing at this level, that’s why I’m here. At this age I wouldn’t participate in the Slams and I wouldn’t still be playing professional tennis if I didn’t believe I had the qualities to reach the title.
I still feel like I have the game to go the distance. But like I said, I don’t want to get to my head because I still didn’t have good form before arriving at Roland Garros. Novak’s greatest quality is perhaps always knowing how to motivate himself, looking for new stimuli and resetting what he did before: “For over 20 years as a professional tennis player I have constantly had to deal with the motivation to maintain it.
I knew that sooner or later the moment would come when I would have weeks of rest in which I would struggle to push myself and give what I have to give on the court. Even if it is true that I am focused almost exclusively on the Grand Slams and the Olympics and about playing for my country,” he explained.
