Novak Djokovic speeds towards the second round of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games after convincingly defeating Matthew Ebden in his debut with a final score of 6-0 and 6-1 in less than an hour of play. It was 54 minutes of suffering for the Australian, with a very serious Novak leaving no room for doubts.

Despite Novak's clear favoritism starting off strong on the scoreboard, Matthew forced his rival to work in each exchange, consistently returning the ball to the other side of the net. The Australian's defensive work was not bad, but the Serbian increased the pace when needed to close the point as desired. Even with the knee bandage he wore at Wimbledon, Djokovic remained focused, not allowing anything or anyone to distract him.

In the blink of an eye, Nole secured the first set of the match, with Ebden at times appearing like he could make a comeback but succumbing to the intense pressure from his opponent. In less than half an hour with minimal effort. Serving well and dominating from the baseline were more than enough to frustrate Ebden, who jokingly offered his racket to the crowd to face Djokovic.

Djokovic leaves no chance

Although the scoreboard didn't offer much hope for the Australian, he maintained his sense of humor he displayed upon learning who his opponent would be in Paris. Fighting in every exchange, never lowering his demand, Novak was already heading towards victory, despite Matthew's attempts to win a game. Djokovic allowed his rival a brief respite, acknowledged with applause by the audience after securing and celebrating his first game.

That was the only joy Ebden had as he saw his singles adventure come to a swift end. Novak fulfilled his role as the favorite with a friendly attitude towards his rival, making clear his intentions for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games as he awaits his next opponent in the second round.
