G.O.A.T.
Alright here we go, the rematch of last year's 3rd round, this time in the 2nd round.

Djere took the first 2 sets on that ocassion, before Djokovic won the last 3 to win the match & eventually the tournament.

Djere's FH does trouble Novak; as we've seen in both of their matches which both went down to the wire (Djere led by a set & a break in Belgrade 2022).

Will it be interesting again? Or will the top Serb triumph over hos countryman easily? Vote & Discuss.

Novak should win this, he looked rusty in R1…needs to be sharp and not let Djere in who himself is not in the best of form.

Djokovic does have a history of losing to his fellow countrymen, Troicki, Tipsa... but usually in smaller tournaments.

Au contraire, mon cher... he's got a history of rolling over every sort of Balkan in Slams (even Greeks).
 
One event too far this for Novak. Clearly he has come in with an abdominal issue as 1st round he was under 50% 1st serves and is again struggling with the serve. Djere has no FH so there iis an easy get of jail card for free that side for Novak but as the event progresses obviously it will be hard with a compromised serve

Djokovic's toss is too low which is why he's missing so many. He still hasn't found his rhythm yet on it and serving poorly again like in the 1st round.

The guy’s serving 44 percent and still beating this mug. He will have to step up his game in the later rounds but djere is not gonna make novak pay.
 
Novak needs to get this done in under 2 and a half hours in this humidity. Djere is woeful this season and Novak needs to show more urgency here and get off court.
