Novak Djokovic started his quest for a record-breaking 23rd Grand Slam singles title with a comfortable victory over Aleksandar Kovacevic in the first round of the French Open.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Djokovic, a two-time champion at Roland Garros, defeated his American opponent in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2, 7-6 (7\/1). Despite facing a late rally from Kovacevic, Djokovic managed to maintain his composure and secure the win. The victory extended his streak of never losing in the opening match of a major tournament since the 2006 Australian Open. In the next round, Djokovic will face Marton Fucsovics, whom he has previously defeated four times.<\/p>\n

Carlos Alcaraz, the top seed and a rising star in men’s tennis, also had an impressive start to his French Open campaign. The 20-year-old Spaniard showcased his talent against Italian qualifier Flavio Cobolli, winning the match 6-0, 6-2, 7-5.<\/p>\n

Alcaraz, who has enjoyed success on the clay courts this season with wins at the Madrid and Barcelona Opens, is considered a favorite to win the title in the absence of his compatriot Rafael Nadal. Alcaraz’s next opponent will be Taro Daniel of Japan.<\/p>\n

British 14th seed Cameron Norrie survived a five-set thriller against Benoit Paire, while former champion Stan Wawrinka battled for four hours and 35 minutes to overcome Albert Ramos-Vinolas.<\/p>\n
