Djokovic Passes Mpetshi Perricard Test In Roland Garros Opener
Frenchman Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard: Novak Djokovic survived a stern opening-round test at Roland Garros when he rallied to defeat Frenchman Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard 5-7, 7-5, 6-1, 6-4 to book his place in the second round in Paris.
Making a record 82nd Grand Slam main draw appearance in the French capital this year, breaking a record he held jointly with Roger Federer and Feliciano Lopez, Djokovic is now 80-2 in opening matches at the majors, and hasn't lost a first match at a Grand Slam since the 2006 Australian Open.
He is now 22-0 in opening matches on the terre battue, which is the most Roland-Garros first-round wins of any man without suffering a loss in the Open era. He also is now 13-0 against French players in Paris all-time.
