 | Djokovic defeated Lithuanian in the first round28-08-2013 |
World No. 1 Novak Djokovic began his campaign in Open Tennis Championship U.S. with easy victory 6:1, 6:2, 6:2 over the Lithuanian Rikardas Berankis.
Djokovic, who last year reached the final in the tournament, did not show the best of himself - his opponent came to a total of 8 break points - but still did not give particularly good chance to his opponent.
"I am very pleased with my concentration as I did not play well in Montreal and Cincinnati in the glow tournaments," said the Joker. "I had 10 days in which to give everything in training. I was very dedicated and I put 100 per cent in my preparation. So far, the efforts are paying off. "
"Of course, the first game was as good as could be expected. I must continue to work and stay on the right path" ended Nole.
