NDTV
French Open: Roland Garros starts on Sunday with Novak Djokovic drawn in the same half of the draw as his old rivals Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.
Novak Djokovic completed a successful warm-up for the French Open when he beat Slovakian Alex Molcan 6-4, 6-3, on Saturday in the final of the ATP clay tournament in Belgrade. This was the second event in the city in just over a month but where the Serbia Open in April was played in an empty stadium, fans were allowed for this tournament. "It's been a while since I last played here in front of a crowd," said Djokovic, a Belgrade native who lost in the semi-final in the Serbia Open, a tournament he last won in 2011. "To hold a trophy here after 10 years is really special and it couldn't be better ahead of Roland Garros," he said. "I am playing well, feeling good and I have spent quality time with my family." Molcan, ranked 255th in the world, broke Djokovic's serve three times from three break points in the first set, but struggled to hold his own.More Related News
