Djokovic dominated the match with Griekspoor from start to finish. “I came to the court properly concentrated, better than in the first round, which was important. I’m happy with the level of my game. Everything is going in the right direction,” said this year’s Australian Open winner, Roland Garros and Wimbledon.

The only complication was a restless fan in Arthur Ash’s court. In the second set, he made a noise during the game, Djokovic broke the smash and lost service for the first and last time in the match. He looked sternly at the spectator into the auditorium, in the following game he took the opponent’s service and certainly won the set.

“The man made a noise, he was screaming at the game before I smashed. It was an important ball. And then he did it too. It wasn’t nice of him,” Djokovic complained, adding: “Understand me, I like the show, the fans, music, but he interrupted over and over and he knew very well what he was doing. “
