Novak Djokovic cruised through the first round of the French Open by defeating the Japanese player, Yoshihito Nishioka. His coach, Goran Ivanisevic, did not shy away from praising the world no. 1. He said, “It’s like in the films with Spiderman or Superman: the heroes are sometimes in a bad position, but they always end up reappearing.”

Translated using Google Translate

Ivanisevic : "C'est comme dans les films avec Spiderman ou Superman : les héros sont parfois en fâcheuse posture, mais ils finissent toujours par ressurgir (…) Novak peut se dire : « J'ai eu le monde entier contre moi et je suis toujours n°1 mondial »." https://t.co/ILzblKUe3g

This was in reference to the Serbian player’s absence from the first half of 2022. He has been performing well and has also won the Italian Open to give a boost to his morale. Consequently, this can help him in winning the French Open, too. He further added, “Novak can say to himself: I had the whole world against me and I am still No. 1 in the world.”
