BREAK! – DJOKOVIC 3-1 MUSETTI. Novak has already caught Musetti cold on a few occasions with the drop shot. It works a treat once more and lays the foundation for a break to love, which the world number one ties up with a laser-beam crosscourt backhand that clips the line.
DJOKOVIC 2-1 MUSETTI. That’s much more routine from Djokovic’s point of view. He lets just the one point slip as he eases through the game, completely catching his opponent cold with a bewitching dropshot along the way.
DJOKOVIC 1-1 MUSETTI. That’s very solid and composed from Lorenzo. He follows up a double fault at 40-15 with an ace down the middle T to ensure that he backed up that positive opening game. He’s already looking right at home on this type of stage.
The first match on Chatrier was a big moment for Coco Gauff.
DJOKOVIC 1-0 MUSETTI. That’s a nerveless start from the teenager but he’s ultimately unrewarded. He sizzles a stunning backhand winner down the line in the first point of the match and has a nervy-looking Nole on the backfoot at 0-30. The world number one responds with a flurry of superb forehands before a double fault leaves him with more work to do from deuce. Musetti can’t make any impact from there and the 18-time major champion eases to the game from there.

Djoker: “I know very much that he is a big challenge to me. So there is no question I have to go out playing on a high level, because, you know, he will not have much to lose. I'm sure he's going to come out and really try to play the tennis of his life playing on one of the two big courts."
