Tennis star Novak Djokovic kicked off his tournament with a hard-fought victory against Portugals Nuno Borges, winning in two sets after a challenging match. Djokovic, the top seed, struggled initially but secured the win with strong serving in crucial moments. He praised Borgess performance and greeted the Greek crowd in Greek. In the next round, Djokovic will face German qualifier Yannick Hanfmann, who defeated Marcos Giron in two sets. Hanfmann, who pushed Djokovic to three sets in Shanghai, believes he has a chance to stay competitive if he serves well and takes advantage of the lower bouncing balls in Athens.
