PARIS (AP) Back on the court where he completed his career Grand Slam, Novak Djokovic showed no sign of the crisis of confidence that has affected his game since winning the French Open last year.
With new coach Andre Agassi watching from the stands, the second-seeded Serb dispatched clay-court specialist Marcel Granollers 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 to reach the second round of the clay-court major on Monday.
Trailing 0-40 on his serve in the final game, Djokovic won the next five points and sealed the match with a service winner.
Visibly happy with his performance, he then mingled with ball boys at the center of the court and thanked the crowd.
