World number 6 Novak Djokovic takes on local favorite Corentin Moutet in this second-round matchup at the French Open. Djokovic is bidding to capture his fourth Roland Garros title, and increase his lead in the slams to 25, while the Frenchman will be looking to earn his first win against the Serb.

Djokovic has reached the second round after a routine three-set victory over American Mackenzie McDonald. Moutet also earned a similarly comfortable straight-sets win over compatriot Clement Tabur. The winner of this match will proceed to the third round and play the winner of the Denis Shapovalov and Filip Misolic match.

Novak Djokovic vs Corentin Moutet Preview

It has been a rather quiet year for Djokovic, who has struggled a bit more than we are accustomed to. Having said that, the former number 1 has made deep runs, including a semi-final at the Australian Open, the final in Miami, and most recently a title-winning performance at the Geneva Open.

On this year, Djokovic has done a decent job with his serve. He has 172 aces and won 88% of his service games, while saving 59% of the break point chances. However, his 24% return games won is a bit of a bother.
