The Serbian champion Novak Djokovic suffered in the first round of the Monte Carlo Rolex Masters 2022 against the Spaniard Davidovich Fokina, who is always a tough player to face, but he did not spare the spectacle to the public in the stands:.
In the tie-break of the second set, ahead 6-5, the native of Belgrade has invented a splendid magic, finding a passing straight line that left the Iberian speechless. It was not enough for the Serbian world no.1 to win the match: the sensational defeat has arrived.
Fabio Fognini, 2019 edition champion, fresh from the very tiring success against Arthur Rinderknech, leaves room for defending champion Stefanos Tsitsipas. In a decidedly tense game, with the well-known antipathy between the two, the Greek talent manages to repel Fognini's attempts in the heart of the first set and above all to spread into the second.
The 6-3 6-0 that he matures on the threshold of ninety minutes of play is practically a logical consequence that even leaves little room for interpretation. There were also successes for David Goffin, Lorenzo Musetti, Holger Rune and Grigor Dimitrov.
nd against Peter Gojowczyk.
