Novak Djokovic defeated Marton Fucsovic in straight sets 7-6 (7-2), 6-0, 6-3 to qualify for the third round of the French Open on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
The World No.3 wasn’t prolific in the beginning of the match as he had to work really hard to claim the first set in a tie-break.<\/p>\n
However, from then on Djokovic rediscovered his well known ruthless form to trash his Hungarian opponent in the 2nd set by 6-0.<\/p>\n
Not much changed in the final set as the Serb kept his high tempo and despite missing out on the chance to clinch the game at 5-2 on his own serve, he eventually wrapped it up in the next game with a break.<\/p>\n
The 36-year-old will meet Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, a much tougher opponent as he is one of the seeded players. However, Djokovic still remains firm favorite for a win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
