The top seed had to wait until the night match on the third day of the tournament to begin his quest for an Open era record-extending 25th Grand Slam title, but quickly hit his stride to dispatch French wildcard Herbert on Court Philippe Chatrier. The only blip came in the second set when Djokovic broke serve early but then dropped his own and was dragged into a tiebreak before finding an extra gear to move towards victory.
Defeats in Rome and Geneva to Alejandro Tabilo and Tomas Machac, respectively, led Djokovic to say he had high hopes but low expectations for the French Open.“It’s something that I have been saying from the beginning of the year, that Grand Slams are the ones that are basically getting me up from the bed every day, knowing that I have to hit the practice courts,” he said.
