Same stage, same story — Novak Djokovic wasted no time making a statement at Roland Garros once again.
The three-time French Open champion kicked off his 2025 title hunt with a commanding straight-sets win over Mackenzie McDonald, breezing to a 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 victory on Tuesday.
Fresh off securing his 100th career title just days earlier in Geneva, Djokovic looked sharp and composed from the first ball, wrapping up the opening-round clash in just under two hours on Court Philippe-Chatrier. The Serbian star barely put a foot wrong in a performance that reminded everyone why he’s still the man to beat on the Paris clay.
Djokovic is still chasing that landmark 25th Grand Slam trophy — a feat that would place him alone at the summit of men's tennis history. While the road through 2025 has been far from smooth, his recent title in Geneva has reignited belief that another Roland Garros triumph might just be within reach.
The year began on a sour note for the Serbian icon. After pulling out of his Australian Open semifinal against Alexander Zverev due to injury, Djokovic took time off and returned only to suffer back-to-back first-round exits in Doha and Indian Wells, an uncharacteristic wobble for one of the sport’s most consistent campaigners. His clay-court swing initially brought little relief, crashing out early in Monte Carlo and Madrid before skipping the Italian Open altogether.
Still, momentum matters. In 2024, the only piece of silverware Djokovic lifted was Olympic gold, won, fittingly, on these very Roland Garros courts. Now back in the City of Light with a title in hand and history on the line, don’t count him out just yet.
