Novak Djokovic eases his way into round two of the Adelaide International

Novak Djokovic began his 2023 year with a match against Constant Lestienne at the Adelaide International and the Serbian had no issues winning 6-3 6-2.

Playing a competitive match on Australian soil must have felt really good for Novak Djokovic and he was certainly in great spirits for this one. Lestienne is a solid player who fights for every point but he was easily overmatched in most rallies in this match. Djokovic won easily taking a little over 70 minutes to get this one done.

He served really well winning the majority of points behind his first serve and facing only one break point all match long. On return, Djokovic patiently crafted points and found success both on the opponent's first and second serve. He used 3 of 8 break points to close out the match. Overall, just a solid win for Novak as he got his Australian Open preparations underway.
