On Tuesday [AEST], in a chilly and damp Paris, Djokovic took his record in first round matches at Roland Garros to 18-0 with his win over the 27-year-old Nishioka after converting eight of 18 break points.

So it is what it is, but I think the decision that was made was the best one for the tour and for the players." For me, it's something else." "Wimbledon, for me, was always my dream tournament when I was a child. I don't support that at all." "And there are some guys, obviously, who are not going to have a chance to earn points, of course.
