After the match Djokovic expressed pleasure about being back on the courts:

“It was great to be back on the court after almost two months without competition. I did not expect anything but I knew this was not going to be an easy match. Marton is a very talented player, he has a lot of quality. It was a great fight. I couldn’t break his serve, he was playing with a lot of precision and we pushed each other to the limit. It was a great opening match for me. I am very pleased.”

Djokovic is still rusty coming off of a 2 month layoff but the Serbian knows what it takes to get back into match shape. Speaking on that he said:

“It is just about spending time on court, finding that match play intensity and playing more points. The more matches I play, I think I am going to get better. I know myself well, I was in this situation before, quite a lot of times, so hopefully experience can play a role in doing the job well.”
