It was quite a competitive match, but the top seed stayed in control throughout the competition. The Serb had started his title defense with a commanding 6-3, 6-1, 6-0 win over Yoshihito Nishioka. Djokovic is currently playing at the French Open where he is the defending champion. It is one of two Grand Slam tournaments where he has not won a consecutive title, while the US Open is the other in the second round on Wednesday.
Aljaz Bedene beat Pablo Cuevas 4-6 6-4 7-6 6-4 in the second round to advance to the third round at the Grand Slam in Paris, France and book a meeting with No. 1 ATP Player Novak Djokovic. Djokovic meets Aljaz Bedene tomorrow in the third round of the 2022 French Open. The ATP no. 1 had a tough second-round battle against Alex Molcan after a comfortable win over his first-round opponent Yoshihito Nishioka of Japan. Meanwhile, Aljaz went through four sets to get past Christopher O’Connell in the first round and defeated clay specialist Pablo Cuevas in the second round. After lifting the trophy for the first time in Paris in 2016, his title defense ended in the quarter-finals the following year. The Serb added a second title in 2021.
Nadal continues his solid run
If there were any worries about Nadal’s foot injuries, they seem to have been allayed in the first two rounds here at Roland-Garros. After losing just six games in his first-round loss to Jordan Thompson, the Spaniard bested Corentin Moutet in another straight-setter in the second round. It took Nadal just over two hours to beat the Frenchman, winning 6-3 6-1 6-4 but losing serve on two separate occasions.
Both came in the decider when the Spaniard already had two sets – falling behind at a 2-0 stage and then not serving at 5-3. Nadal recovered quickly to break his opponent in the next game to wrap things up.
What Nadal will look to change is the number of unforced errors he clocked at 22 in the three sets. The 27 winners helped, but as he picks up a rhythm, the former world number one will be hoping to shed some caution about his foot injury.
Van de Zandschulp passes the injured Fognini
Just as van de Zandschulp had struggled to get past Pavel Kotov in 141st place in his first round, there were doubts as to how he would fare in the second round against a much more experienced and thoroughbred opponent.
Fabio Fognini is a Masters 1000 winner but van de Zandschulp has arranged himself well and lived up to his favourite, taking the lead by two sets to love.
Fognini held out for five more games in the decider before deciding to pull out of the encounter due to injury.
The match lasted two hours, with van de Zandschulp overcoming a break of serve in the first set to break Fognini twice in a row to claim the win. The second set was more difficult for van de Zandschulp as he fell 5-1 down before making his comeback of the day. He won the next five games, saving two set points in the process, before completing the tie-breaker win. Can van de Zandschulp show a similar kind of courage against Nadal?
Bedene started the tournament in poor form, but Slovakia seemed to bounce back with some powerful serves. On the other hand, Serbian Djokovic didn’t drop a set while clinching the Italian Open title and reflected on the tournament. The pick of the game is Novak Djokovic as he is in better shape to advance to the next round.

This will be the fourth meeting between both players, with Djokovic having won on each of the three previous occasions.
They have met twice on clay, at the 2017 Rome Masters and here at Roland Garros, with Djokovic winning in straight sets each time. After a difficult few months for the world number one, mainly for reasons off the pitch, it was a very good comeback from Novak Djokovic. At the start of the clay-court season, Djokovic struggled but slowly and surely he returned to his old form.
A crucial title win in Rome the week before last, where the world no.
Opening the defense of his title against Japan’s Yoshihito Nishioka, there were some difficult moments early on, but once Djokovic got his ‘pop’ going, there was no stopping him. The Serb lost just four games in his opener, playing against Slovakia’s Alex Molcan, who is currently coached by Marian Vajda, who Djokovic recently parted ways with.
