Novak Djokovic made his return to tennis at the Paris Masters and while he did not play his best, the Serbian was still able to move past Fucsovics.

Everything looked right for Djokovic early in the match as the Serbian jumped out to a 6-2 first set finish. Fucsovics came back to win the 2nd but towards the end, Djokovic still established himself as teh better player closing it out with 6-3 in the 3rd.

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.”
