Novak Djokovic ecstatic after winning start in Monte Carlo Masters

Novak Djokovic was delighted after he made an impressive start to the clay season. After a first round bye, the 24-time Grand Slam singles champion beat Russia’s Roman Safiullin in the second round of the Monte Carlo Masters. Djokovic won the match 6-1, 6-2 and made his way through to Round 3 where he will face Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti.

Djokovic earned 19 break point chances and converted 5 of them. The veteran did not give Safiullin a single chance of breaking his serve and that showed how dominating he was. Djokovic had no hesitation in saying that the match against Safiullin was one of his best.

"My feeling was great. I think it's an accurate judgment from the people that it's been one of the best performances I had here in quite a few years," Djokovic told the reporters.
