Serbia's Novak Djokovic poses with Australia's Matthew Ebden ahead of their men's singles first round tennis match on Court Philippe-Chatrier at the Roland-Garros Stadium at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, in Paris on July 27, 2024. Paris, France—Novak Djokovic said his 6-0, 6-1 rout of unranked Matthew Ebden in just 53 minutes at the Olympics on Saturday was “not a good image” for tennis and demanded a change in the rules governing late call-ups.
World number one Jannik Sinner also pulled out, with tonsillitis, to be replaced by 275th-ranked Hady Habib. He was promptly defeated in straight sets by Wimbledon and French Open champion Carlos Alcaraz on Saturday. “I don’t think it’s a good image for the sport, to be honest. There are lots of singles players that had plenty of time to get here and could have been called to come.
Djokovic needed just 24 minutes to wrap up the first set against Ebden and was 4-0 up in the second before his opponent won a game.
