Novak Djokovic* 0-2 Casper Ruud

Both players are trying to utilise the drop shot from the off here.

Ruud is making Djokovic work for every point as he draws him into rallies.

The Serbian hasn’t quite got his sights in yet on his forehand as he looks to get them right in the corner.

After some unforced errors, Casper Ruud finds himself with a break point early on in this match.

Novak Djokovic remains calm and immediately gets the game back to deuce but then an unforced error gives Ruud a second break point.

He works Ruud around the court before hitting a crunching forehand to square things up again.

Djokovic follows this up with an ace but again, an unforced error brings the game back to deuce.

Casper Ruud continues to force errors out of Djokovic and goes on to break the Serbian in his first service game.
