There is a notable absence among Novak Djokovic’s 98 career singles titles, but the Serbian star is hoping to change that over the coming weeks.
Yet to win an Olympic gold medal across his four previous appearances at the Games, Djokovic got his latest campaign off to a strong start, defeating Australia’s Matthew Ebden 6-0 6-1 on a lively Court Philippe-Chatrier in Paris. The match, played under the roof of the noisy arena amid heavy rain, lasted just 53 minutes.
An underarm serve also failed to reap any rewards, but Ebden did get on the scoreboard eventually, lifting his shirt over his head in ironic celebration. The crowd, already in a restless mood and providing vociferous support for both players, responded with a roar of approval, perhaps hopeful that the contest would be extended a little longer. But it only delayed the inevitable.
