In his first game of the season, Daniil Medvedev had to fight tooth and nail, saving nine set points in the opening set of 2023. However, the tennis star did not sweat on Wednesday as he eased past Kecmanovic in straight sets.
Medvedev found himself in serious trouble late in the 81-minute opening set after saving six set points at 4-5 despite having led by 40/0 earlier. Medvedev had to rally in his subsequent service game, coming back from 0/40 to demand a tie-break.
Djokovic pushed through the gears while a large audience watched on, hitting his impenetrable groundstrokes with constant depth and accuracy to seize immediate control.
