At the beginning of the second round, however, Djokovic weakened briefly. He lost his second game of service and Musetti took a 2-1 lead.

But the 20-year-old’s joy didn’t last long. Djokovic managed the direct re-break and everything was back in order.

While the six-time Paris champion subsequently held his own serve, Musetti also had to give up his next game. Djokovic then confidently brought this lead to the finish. After 1:14 hours he converted his first match point.
