Schett in awe after Djokovic opening round brilliance: "He's not 35, something is wrong with his passport"

Barbara Schett was stunned by the level Novak Djokovic showed in the first round refusing to believe that the Serbian is actually 35 years old.

Players doing well in the later stages of their career is nothing new in tennis but the way Djokovic is doing it is certainly extraordinary. He's looking as good as he ever looked, particularly in the final set when he lost only four points. Eurosport analyst and former player Schett can't comprehend it and she's not the only one:

"I think it’s the way forward for Novak Djokovic, and how young does he look out there today? He’s not 35, something is wrong with his passport for sure, his birth certificate is wrong! I mean, 35, looking like that!"

She added:

“I haven’t seen him play as aggressive ever before, he was stepping into the court, taking time away from his opponent, it was a phenomenal performance and a well-deserved victory.”

Djokovic certainly looked champion worthy in the first match but he'll need to win a few more to get there.
