What a moment for Kovacevic, playing your idol you took a picture as a seven year old kid with at USO in 2005. What a moment

Saitama 4 mesi fa

i dont think much people idolized 2005 novak

Rakshit kumar 4 mesi fa

@Saitama many players do not consider Novak as an idol don't know why

Rodrigo Odon Salcedo Cisneros 4 mesi fa

@Saitama Kovacevic did though

Rodrigo Odon Salcedo Cisneros 4 mesi fa

@Rakshit kumar Marketing forced Fedal down their throats, the Next Next Gen is really the first generation that got exposed to Nole as a star, and even they will acknowledge him only if their sponsors let them (Tsitsipas called him the best player to ever hold a racquet in AO 2023, but backtracked those comments a few weeks ago to follow Rolex' demands of hyping up Fedal).

MrTresto 4 mesi fa

@Rodrigo Odon Salcedo Cisneros to most people, Federer and Nadal are more fun to watch play than Djokovic. I respect Djokovic's skill and toughness VERY MUCH and he is an incredibly strong player, maybe the strongest ever... But as a spectator I just don't like watching him as much, and a lot of people share this preference for a less machine-like play style.

Stephen Nicewarner 4 mesi fa

Very promising first round. This is the best energy Djokovic has had all clay season. He knows how to bring his best to the slams.

Matt Rosenbaum 4 mesi fa

For all of Novak’s temper sometimes, I always loved how nice he is at the end of a match to his opponent (and even when he loses he is just as gracious). Honestly, a lot more so than Federer was. Not a knock on Roger so much as admiration for Novak’s sportsmanship.

EuneAdventure 4 mesi fa

just like football,tennis can provoke much anger during play,he has to learn to at least control that a little...

puremaze 4 mesi fa

You know who else does that really well? Sociopaths...They have multiple personalities in reserve so they appear perfectly humble and neutral at the net but fericous during the match. If it is too neutral I don't trust it usually.

The 3rd set was a chance for Aleksandar. He could turn the tide and reach 4th or 5th. He’s got big potential. Great game for both!

A good full circle story for Aleksandar. A warm up game for Novak.

Teddy 4 mesi fa

Absolutely clinical from Djokovic. What a way to win it too. I really want him to win this but with Alcaraz around, along with any crazy wild card out there, it’s tough to say. For now though, great job

O ESP 4 mesi fa

Noval will end his career as the undisputed G.O.A.T. He has the chance for a 3rd career grand slam and a record 23rd slam. Already won all Masters 1000 at least twice and a record 38. Already hold the record for most weeks at no.1 and year-end no.1 ranking. Has the chance to win a record 7th ATP final. Roger is out of the picture. Nadal is nearing the end as well. Next-gen aren't that consistent in winning. Djokovic isn't slowing down and could still be a strong contender for the next 2-3 years. Not sure if he can break Connors record 109 titles but at 93, he sure will reach the hundred mark or at least overtake Roger's 103. Just an amazing athlete.

Kyla. S 4 mesi fa

Next gen aren't that consistent in winning? I think Alcaraz would have something to say about that lol.

O ESP 4 mesi fa

@Kyla. S is it that same Alcaraz who got beaten by a player ranked outside 100 in Rome just weeks ago?

Kyla. S 4 mesi fa

@O ESP Wait til he faces Rune lmao

O ESP 4 mesi fa

@Kyla. S only if Rune can improve from last year's Q'final finish. He's on the bottom half of the draw. You can name any other player not Roger or Rafa. No one can compare to Novak's resume. And he's not done yet. That's the whole point of what I posted above.

Won't happen at rg this year

Sead Kurbasic 4 mesi fa

@Abe Guy you are wizard and know what should happen?

Abe Guy 4 mesi fa

@Sead Kurbasic Nah.. just a hunch one of these guys won't reach semi.. When matches are too overhyped, they rarely happen. Look no fed Nadal match at uso... Wimbledon we got a semi after a long gap.. So my gut says one of these guys will lose before semis.. However it would be a great match if that happens

0:44 the ball placement on this point is fantastic. as the point continues, Novak's precision gets better and better.

Rosalea Corle 4 mesi fa

Glad that Novak won his match today. He is a great player and the best. I enjoy his matches. Novak will always be number 1 in my opinion.

Heavy Topspin 4 mesi fa

Interesting contrast between the first matches of Nole and Alcaraz. Carlitos was breaking out all the inhuman shots (seriously, around the post from 5 feet past the net???) while Djokovic simply played his regular game at about half-intensity until the final tiebreak.

writer684 4 mesi fa

This was a very good exercise just what he needed to start feeling it 3 sets then another 3-4 sets and he will be good (Tennis GOD).

Superb Serb!! 😊🎾 ❤️ what a Hero this man is in more than 1 way! We love you Novak!! ❤️

Alan Costa 4 mesi fa

The main problem for Djokovic since Dubai final is the unforced errors when he was serving for the match that game was a nightmare so it's something still problematic and still on.

Vele Korunoski 4 mesi fa

Novak needs to convert those break point chances. 2-0 in sets, 2-0 Ad-40 in the 3rd, costed him a few more games in the end, because there was wind at 5-4 he needed an extra game to pick up the rhythm on the serve back. Missed chances make this sort of trouble, but as the tournament goes on he'll improve there's no doubt about that. 👍😊

I got to watch Kovacevic play at U of I a couple of times when I was in high school. Loved his game.

Dontsayitisntbecauseitis 4 mesi fa

Djokovic hitting out a bit more than usual here, and in the first round, too. Without Nadal, Djokovic and Alcaraz just need to get it on, and the other 126 players can go home.

Vele Korunoski 4 mesi fa

Shame that they are drawn to play h2h in the semis instead of the final. I'm hoping for a USO Final between Nole & Carlos, with Nole winning.

not a single point from kovacevic? in a 3 set match and forcing a tiebreak in the last one? roland garros highlights are always on point lol

exactly what i was saying! i was looking to see a one hand backhand winner!

Nole's backand has more air to it and he's looking to be aggressive. He just turns it on for the slams.

One-handed backhand always get picked on. As seen in the highlights, whenever Djokovic wanted an easy shot, he just looped a high ball to Kovacevic's backhand.

J. M. 4 mesi fa

Djokovic lost to 5 different players at Roland Garros in the last 12 years. One of them was Nadal, the other four players were one-handers.

I once heard Kovacevic say "I'm so bad at tennis!" and "I hate tennis" during a college match. For a bad player who hates it he looks pretty good.

As far as i'm concerned, this is Joker's tournament to lose. His level, his experience, his quality on this surface, he's just cruising and w/o Nadal he knows that he's pretty much better than everyone else.

Imagine a final between rune and djoko.

puremaze 4 mesi fa

Then we would be missing out on Alcaraz Rune or Alcaraz Sinner. More interesting to have next Gen in the later stages.

Jacob Simonsen 4 mesi fa

@puremaze Just referring to the history of Rune and Djoko. A 3. loss in a row for Djoko would hurt his legacy

Vele Korunoski 4 mesi fa

@Jacob Simonsen It will not happen. Djokovic will win their next meeting.

puremaze 4 mesi fa

@Jacob Simonsen It would be a second loss against Alcaraz would, too. Also Rune has an autonomy of 2,5 sets, I don't see him arriving in the final with enough physical reserves to worry Novak. Rune is only good in short formats.

getting nervous by leading 2:0 in the first round of a Slam LOL its called "loosing focus" !!!

Delta keesei 4 mesi fa

Djokovic should learn to master the forhand dropshoot, this is really easy, the important thing is that your hands are at shoulder level and push or thrust the racket forward, this is really easy, Alcaraz style, not only backhand dropshoot, for the current style, almost all tennis players understand Djokovic's style

@Vijayendran Vijay its funny, some tennis fans dont even knows the meaning from weak era champ and want hidden the reality...WEAK ERA champ means, a champion who only dominate weak opponents or immmature players like federer from 2004-10🤣🤣 I MEAN even as example when djokovic would dominate after the AO 2012 only weak players like bagdatis, gonzalez, beretini ect, was the period from AO 2011 until AO 2012 still stronger then from 2004-10😉😘 federer is only the wladimir klitschlo from tennis🤣

@Beach and Nature fan He has won Wimbledon and the AO without any previous tournament more than once... this won't be different from those ones.

Beach and Nature fan 4 mesi fa

@natoskull2 In a way, it is very different because clay is his weakest surface - even if Nadal is not there, he has to deal with Alcaraz, Rune, etc. all of whom can beat him on clay.
