Novak Djokovic has only lost twice in the first round of a Grand Slam. Interestingly, both were at the Australian Open, in his first two appearances (2005, 2006), but the real news is what has happened since then. The statistic shows that it has been 75 consecutive Grand Slams without the Serbian falling in his debut, marking a new milestone in the history of this sport, as no player, male or female, had reached such an extreme in individual events. It's often said that the first round is the most dangerous place for favorites, where they are most vulnerable. Ask Novak about it after defeating Learner Tien this morning and see what he says.
