He raced to a 6-2, 3-0 lead over the Argentine before rain interrupted play. Players were back on court, and Djokovic won nine of 11 games to seal his 30th win of the season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;It&#8217;s like deja vu from two days ago, coming in and out and warming up five times, but it is the way it is,&#8221;<\/strong> Novak said. <strong>&#8220;I&#8217;m just glad that I finished the match today.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Match statistics<\/span>: aces (1-1), double faults (2-4), winners (29-10), unforced errors (26-34), total points won (93-58).<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bsrlz91YHTA\" height=\"332\" width=\"590\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Novak next faces no.26 seed Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The 26-year-old Belgrade native lost to the Bulgarian three weeks ago in an epic contest at the Mutua Madrid Open (6-7, 7-6, 3-6), but leads their career H2H 3-1.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;I think he&#8217;s got more confident as he was getting big wins in the past few months, he&#8217;s a tough player to beat now, definitely,&#8221;<\/strong> said Djokovic. <strong>&#8220;Even though his style of play is maybe better on hard court or faster surfaces, he&#8217;s showing that he can play equally well on clay. He pushed Nadal to tough three sets in Monaco. He beat me in Madrid. It&#8217;s going to be a tough one for both of us, definitely. I need to be on top of my game. It&#8217;s going to be very physical and all the hard work I put into preparing for this tournament, hopefully will play into my advantage and will pay off on the court.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Photo: AP<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Novak ousted Argentine Guido Pella 6-2, 6-0, 6-2 in just 86 minutes to set up third round clash with Grigor Dimitrov.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":46906,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[101011211,101012260,101012446,113],"class_list":["post-46847","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tennis","tag-french-open-en","tag-paris-en","tag-roland-garros-2013-en","tag-second-round"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46847","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\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46847"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46847\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":46913,"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46847\/revisions\/46913"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/46906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
