Djokovic warms up for Roland Garros with Belgrade title

Novak Djokovic completed a successful warm-up for Roland Garros when he beat Slovakian Alex Molcan 6-4, 6-3, on Saturday in the final of the ATP clay tournament in Belgrade.

This was the second event in the city in just over a month but where the Serbia Open in April was played in an empty stadium, fans were allowed for this tournament.

“It’s been a while since I last played here in front of a crowd,” said Djokovic, a Belgrade native who lost in the semifinal in the Serbia Open, a tournament he last won in 2011.
