Djokovic prepared for Del Potro fight

NOVAK DJOKOVIC is expecting a battle when he takes on 2009 US Open champion Juan Martin Del Potro in the pick of the third-round matches at the French Open today.

The second seed is looking to make it 42 matches unbeaten, 40 of them this year, which would leave him only two behind John McEnroe’s record, set in 1984.

Djokovic said: “It’s going to be a great match, a battle. He has always had the quality to be at the top of the men’s game. He plays equally well on any surface, he has a big serve, great groundstrokes. For his height, he moves really well”.
