Novak Djokovic gets his quest for 18th Grand Slam title back on track as he commences his French Open campaign with a victory over Mikael Ymer
Novak Djokovic's bid to become the first man in half a century to win all four Grand Slam titles twice got off to a straight forward start at Roland Garros as a "double bounce" row prompted calls for video replays to be introduced in tennis.
"It's always a pleasure to return to Paris on Philippe Chatrier, this important court. The atmosphere is a little different this year with few fans but I remain motivated to win the title," said Djokovic, only one of two men to have defeated 12-time champion Rafael Nadal in 15 years in Paris. Mladenovic was 5-1 up and with a set point against Laura Siegemund when the German scooped a winner despite the ball appearing to bounce twice. The incident was missed by chair umpire Eva Asderaki.
