The best tennis player of all time Novak Djokovic triumphantly started his performance at the tournament in Monte Carlo, where he swept the Russian player Roman Safjulin in the second round. After showing his new coach Nenad Zimonjić what he can do, and explaining to the entire tennis public how he got in shape, Novak also learned the name of his next rival – it will be the Italian Lorenzo Musetti!
The Italian tennis player was better than Arturo Flis in two sets (6:3, 7:5), so for the fifth time in his career he will have the honor of playing against the best of all time. Novak Djokovic will have the opportunity to settle scores at this meeting, because it was Musetti who kicked him out of the tournament in Monte Carlo last year, in the round of 16.
Before that, the Serbian tennis player recorded three victories – two very easy triumphs at the tournaments in Dubai and Paris in 2022, as well as a triumph at Roland Garros in 2021, where Musetti surrendered the match after winning two sets, then losing two sets and even 4:0. for Djokovic in the last period. That wasn’t very sporting…
Novak Djokovic and Lorenzo Musetti will have a day off in Monte Carlo, and will return to court on Thursday. It is expected that their mutual match will be one of the most important that day in the tournament, so the time in which they will compete should be determined accordingly. Judging by Djokovic’s first match on clay this year, he will have a huge desire to reach victory!
