I knew that I had to be on my toes and start well, Djokovic said. I dropped my serve again like in the first match. It was quite a nervous start from both of us until 4-3, then with new balls I somehow managed to find the right shots at the right time. "Winning the first set I put additional pressure on him, and I started to maybe play more consistently from the back of the court. I served well, that helped tremendously. I wanted to put him out of his comfort zone, taking away the time and mix up the pace. Djokovic is now 2-0 in the Green Group. He beat Casper Ruud
