Novak Djokovic Advances Second Round French Open 2025

Novak Djokovic began his 2025 French Open campaign with a commanding 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 victory over Mackenzie McDonald to advance to the second round. The 38-year-old Serbian, seeded sixth, is pursuing a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam title and recently became the third man in the Open Era to win 100 ATP titles. Despite a challenging start to the clay-court season and recent injuries, Djokovic showed sharp and clinical form on Court Philippe-Chatrier, extending his Roland-Garros winning streak to 12 matches. He will next face either Corentin Moutet or Clement Tabur in the second round and shares a draw half with top contenders like world number one Jannik Sinner and last year’s runner-up Alexander Zverev. Djokovic's pursuit also includes breaking Margaret Court’s all-time record of 24 major titles, underscoring his historic place in tennis. His performance reflects resilience and experience as he aims to add to his three French Open titles and overall 24 Grand Slam wins.
