Novak Djokovic moved smoothly past German Florian Mayer 6-3, 7-5, 6-4 to avoid any upset danger on Tuesday as the top seed advanced into the second round. The Serb took every precaution to avoid a repeat of the opening-day upset which saw two-time winner Rafael Nadal bundled out in a Monday first-round shock.
Djokovic has always reached at least the second round here, with the winner of three titles this year improved his Wimbledon record to 33-7 after beating the man he defeated a year ago in a quarter-final. “For the opening match of the grass court season, it was a very satisfying performance,” said Djokovic, “Even though I think that I can play better, it’s normal to expect that you’re still kind of finding your rhythm and adjusting to a new surface and new movement. Hopefully I can elevate my game as the tournament goes on.”
French Open finalist and third seed David Ferrer started with a defeat of Argentine Martin Alund 6-1, 4-6, 7-5, 6-2. Czech seventh seed Tomas Berdych defeated Slovak Martin Klizan 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 while number eight Juan Del Potro stopped onto the grass with minimal match preparation and crushed Spaniard Albert Ramos 6-2, 7-5, 6-1.
The Argentine played his only tune-up at Queen’s club, where he won two rounds before losing to Lleyton Hewitt after missing the French Open with a respiratory infection. French ninth seed Richard Gasquet recovered to stop Marcel Granollers 6-7(2), 6-4, 7-5, 6-4.
Japanese 12th seed Kei Nishikori put out Australian Matthew Ebden 6-2, 6-4, 6-3 while German 13th seed Tommy Haas, oldest man in the field at age 35, beat Russian Dmitry Tursunov 6-3, 7-5, 7-5. But Germany’s Philipp Kohlschreiber lost to Croatian Ivan Dodig on a retirement 4-6, 6-7(6), 7-6(2), 6-3, 2-1.
A quartet of American were sent out by a United Nations of winners, with Australian Bernard Tomic, France’s Jeremy Chardy, Jimmy Wang of Taiwan and Dutchman Igor Sijsling sealing the fate Sam Querrey, Ryan Harrison, Wayne Odesnik and Alex Kuznetsov respectively.
Tomic suffered through a dizzy spell which Querrey labeled gamesmanship after his opponent got a medical timeout which stretched well over the limit at 10 minutes. “I think I only had a little bit of breakfast,” said Tomic. “By the time I know it, I was playing and I didn’t really eat before. I was doing the best thing to make myself feel as good as I can on the court. If Sam says that, then that’s his opinion. I know if he was in my position, he would feel the same.”
