A break in the third game was enough for him to serve out the match 6-4.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think I served really well when I needed to,&#8221; reflected Novak. &#8220;That&#8217;s encouraging for the clay because you don&#8217;t get to rely on your serves as much as maybe on other surfaces, so it&#8217;s good to have a couple of free points there. I played really well. For the first official match on clay since Roland Garros last year, it was satisfying.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Match statistics: aces (5-0), double faults (1-0), winners (17-12), unforced errors (26-30), total points won (74-55).<\/p>\n<p>Nole next faces no.16 seed Alexandr Dolgopolov of Ukraine who beat Australian Bernard Tomic.<\/p>\n<p>The 24-year-old Serbian star won their only previous encounter in R4 of 2011 US Open, 7-6 (14), 6-4, 6-2.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XsaQYQd03hk\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"590\" height=\"300\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World number one began his Monte Carlo Rolex Masters campaign with a 6-1 6-4 win over Italian Andreas Seppi. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":27339,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[101012222],"class_list":["post-27347","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tennis","tag-monte-carlo-2012"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27347","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27347"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27347\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27433,"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27347\/revisions\/27433"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27347"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27347"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27347"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
