ISLAMABAD: Novak Djokovic continued his flawless run against French players at Roland Garros by defeating Corentin Moutet 6-3, 6-2, 7-6 (7\/1) on Thursday to secure his place in the third round of the French Open.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 38-year-old tennis legend showed resilience despite battling a blister on his left foot that required a medical timeout during the third set.<\/p>\n

Djokovic\u2019s Strong Performance Despite Injury<\/h4>\n

Djokovic dominated the first two sets comfortably but faced a challenge in the third when Moutet earned a set point.<\/p>\n

After receiving treatment for his blister, Djokovic managed to regain composure and clinched the tiebreak decisively. “Things got a little bit complicated with the blister.<\/p>\n

That was bothering me for a bit,” Djokovic admitted but remained confident that it would not affect his recovery.<\/p>\n

His win marks the 12th time he has defeated French opponents at Roland Garros without a loss, extending his perfect record.<\/p>\n

Djokovic is now through to the last 32 for the 20th time, a record surpassing even the 14-time champion Rafael Nadal.<\/p>\n

Upcoming Match and Lighthearted Moments<\/h4>\n

Djokovic will face Austrian qualifier Filip Misolic next, who recently won a tough five-set battle against Canada\u2019s Denis Shapovalov.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Djokovic shared a humorous anecdote about his nighttime cycling adventure around the busy Arc de Triomphe, describing it as an adrenaline-filled but somewhat dangerous experience that he is unlikely to repeat.<\/p>\n

In lighter news, Djokovic expressed his hope that the tournament schedule would avoid a clash with the Champions League final, where Paris Saint-Germain will play Inter Milan. “It\u2019s going to be PSG that I will support. I will definitely watch it if I\u2019m not playing night session,” he joked.<\/p>\n

The Serbian star now focuses on maintaining his form to advance further in the tournament and add to his illustrious Grand Slam legacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
