, 4 news, a view

Djokovic, who was seeded third and received a first-round bye, was playing his first match since limping out of his Australian Open semifinal in January.

“I was outplayed by just a better player today," he said.

“Yes, I wasn’t at my desired level, and it could be that I’m still not moving the way I want to move, but I played without pain, so there is no excuse in that."

“I think he played a masterclass match to be honest, tactically, and served very well, so just a very deserved win from his side."
