Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz secured spots in the second round of the French Open 2023.

The tennis ace, Novak Djokovic and US Open champion, Carlos Alcaraz made perfect and secured their spots in the second round of the ongoing French Open 2023.

Novak Djokovic displayed a sensational performance to edge past American Aleksandar Kovacevic by 6-3, 6-2, 7-6 (1) to seal his spot in the second round on Court Philippe-Chatrier at Roland-Garros.

Djokovic is the second player in the Open Era to win 65 consecutive first-round matches at Grand Slam events (between Roland Garros 2006 and 2023), equalling Roger Federer (between Wimbledon 2003 and 2021). Men and women combined.

The 36-year-old, Novak Djokovic will face Hungarian Marton Fucsovics in the second-round clash.

On the other hand, Alcaraz began his attempt to win a second Grand Slam title in fine style against Italian qualifier Flavio Cobolli, the world number 159 playing in a Grand Slam for the first time.

The top seed played some wonderful shots as he powered to a 6-0, 6-2, 7-5 victory, despite also struggling to get over the line.

In the next round, world number one Carlos Alcaraz will play against Japan’s Taro Daniel.
