Novak Djokovic started his 2021 Belgrade Open campaign with a win over lucky loser Mats Moraing.
The number one seed started off his Belgrade Open campaign with a win over Mats Moraing 6-2 7-6(4). It was a very tight match in certain moments but Djokovic was able to win the match without too much drama. The start of the match featured a warm-up phase with Djokovic testing out his opponent.
Once he figured out his tendencies and way of play Djokovic went on a run to close out the first set with 6-2. The 2nd set was a much more interesting one. Moraing played a lot better and Djokovic was not as focused as in the opening set. He took a 3-2 lead by breaking Moraing but the German pulled it right back.
Djokovic once again took the lead in the perfect time at 6-5 positioning himself to serve for the match but once again his focus dipped and Moraing was able to force a tiebreak. In the tiebreak, Djokovic decided it was enough and won it 7-4.
It was not a world-beating performance but Djokovic will be happy to move on at an event where he hopes to finetune his clay game for the Roland Garros.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
