Djokovic Back in Form: Dominates Fucsovics to Reach Geneva Open Quarterfinals

“It was a good start to the clay court season, obviously not the way I wanted to start in Monte Carlo and Madrid,” Djokovic said after the match. “But that’s tennis. You can’t always play your best tennis. It’s about how you respond and how you learn from those experiences. I’m glad I was able to raise my level today and play a clean match.”
