Everything is different in tennis – and the world – these days, but in Novak Djokovic land, it’s still business as usual, as the Serb showed little to no signs of rust in his opening round victory over an in-form Jannik Sinner in Monte-Carlo on Wednesday.
For the sixth time in his career, Djokovic has managed to start a season with a clean 10-0 win-loss record in singles, and despite this being his first appearance since the Australian Open in February, the world No.1 was sharp and, at times, ruthless during his 6-4, 6-2 dismissal of Sinner.
