Novak Djokovic wins his first game of the year on the land beaten at the ATP 250 in Geneva, defeating Marton Fucsovics on his debut with the score of 6-2 6-3. The Serbian champion had in fact lost to the debut both in Montecarlo, against Tabilo, and in Madrid, against Arnaldi, which is certainly not customary for a phenomenon like him, and therefore this result, even if not extraordinary compared to the Curriculum di Nole, represents a small positive step in view of Roland Garros, a tournament he won three times. For Djokovic then Geneva (where last year he had been eliminated in the semifinal by Machac) also represents a new beginning, yet another of recent times: nothing more his friend Andy Murray at his corner but Dusan Vemic and Boris Bosnjakovic, who will accompany him in the French adventure. “I am in no hurry to choose a long -term coach, we will see how it will go after Paris,” said Nole. The beginning seems good: the Serbian did not win a game from Miami’s semifinal against Grigor Dimitrov, almost an affront for a cannibal like him. The match against Fucsovics, however positive, may not however be indicative, of the state of rent: the comparisons between the two speak of a 7-0 in favor of the 24-time Slam winner, with the Hungarian who has never had, even today, the weapons to be able to contrast the Serbian.

For Djokovic it will be a “birthday in the office”, given that tomorrow, May 22, he will turn 38 years old, and he will do so wanting to take a revenge, in the quarterfinals, against Matteo Arnaldi, who defeated another Hungarian, Marozsan, in two sets (6-3 7-6 (3)) “I am happy to be here in Ginevra, last year it was a good experience, the atmosphere is now a good experience, So much motivation -said Nole at the end of the game -is my first victory on Earth in 2025, it is nice to break the ice, we know how complicated it is Compared to today, he is a very different player, three weeks ago I lost it in Madrid and I can only hope for a different result “.
