Djokovic started strongly and won the opening set in just 20 minutes. But his error-free game got tossed around when in the second set he dropped serve early. However he regrouped and put it to bed at 6-2.
Little over three weeks since Djokovic was defaulted in the U.S. Open fourth round for hitting a line judge with a ball, he seemed cool as he outclassed the young player from Sweden.
Djokovic also showed his sporting self when he led the applause for Ymer when he played a sensational between-the-legs winner.
But it was one-way traffic as Djokovic polished off the second set with his trademark clean hitting.The 80th-ranked Ymer, facing a world number one for the first time, stuck manfully to his task in the third set and Djokovic became a little sloppy as he handed back a service break with a double-fault after which he flexed his hand.Top seed Djokovic, bidding for a second French Open title, glared at someone in the crowd in the following game and re-focussed to reel off the last three games for victory.

On Monday, Rafael Nadal began his pursuit of a record-tying 20th men’s Grand Slam title with a straight-sets victory at the French Open while Serena Williams made a slow but successful start in her latest bid to equal Margaret Court’s all-time mark.Nadal, 34, needs one more Slam to match Roger Federer’s record but has described the defence of his Roland Garros crown as the “most difficult ever” given the cold and damp conditions of a tournament delayed four months by the coronavirus pandemic.
Pliskova had 27 unforced errors and hit six double faults in the first set under the open roof of Court Philippe Chatrier as the 24-year-old Sherif, making her Grand Slam main draw debut, saved eight setpoints to win the opener in the tiebreaker.
Former world number one Pliskova improved drastically in the second to level the match with three breaks of her opponent’s service games and a crucial break in the seventh game of the decider proved enough.
Pliskova, who retired in the final in Rome with injury before coming to Paris, sealed the match with an ace and will next meet 2017 champion Jelena Ostapenko, who earlier defeated American Madison Brengle 6-2 6-1.The powerful 17-year-old Tauson, making her main draw debut in Grand Slams with a ranking of 188, played fearless tennis to edge out the recent U.S. Open semi-finalist.
Tauson served for the match at 7-6 but failed to take any of three match points, the last one when her attempted drop shot hit the tape and fell agonisingly back on her side. But she refused to let her chance slide and broke Brady again before clinching victory on her fifth match point.

Rublev, who got the better of Tsitsipas in Hamburg, trailed Sam Querrey by two sets on Tuesday. Tsitsipas also slumped two sets behind in his clash with Spain’s Jaume Munar.
But both staged spectacular fightbacks, with Russian 13th seed Rublev edging out American Querrey 6-7 (5-7) 6-7 (4-7) 7-5 6-4 6-3 and Greek fifth seed Tsitsipas prevailing 4-6 2-6 6-1 6-4 6-4.
“Although I started well, I was kind of switched off again later during the first set,” Tsitsipas said. “Whatever I was trying to do, most of my shots were landing out and nothing was going my way.
“It was crazy what was happening out there, and I couldn’t find any solutions. I feel like I was just turning down the hill, and I’m happy that I took my time.
“I started thinking a little bit more. Started figuring out why I was rushing so much and why I was going for extreme things. After a bit of processing and thinking, I think that helped settle things down and have a fresh new start of the match.” Rublev accepted his display against Querrey was dismal, saying: “I was feeling completely tight. I choke another level. From the first point of the match till the last match of the match I was completely frozen. I couldn’t do one step, I could only hit, I was tight like I don’t know.” Matteo Berrettini breezed past Vasek Pospisil 6-3 6-1 6-3 before railing against the relentless march of time.
At just 24, the Italian is already feeling like a veteran after seeing the impressive exploits of compatriots Jannik Sinner and Lorenzo Musetti, who are both teenagers.
“Now it’s crazy. Until last year I was the young one,” exclaimed Berrettini, who faces Lloyd Harris in round two.
“Now these two are with big steps stepping in. I mean, my career is completely different compared to theirs. They started really young. “This is my third Roland Garros, and I’m 24. Probably them at 24, they would have played already maybe six Roland Garros. It’s definitely different.”y.
