The World No. 1 overcomes the challenge from Fucsovics
World No. 1 Novak Djokovic had to work hard for a three-set victory over Hungarian Marton Fucsovics at the Paris Masters on Tuesday in his first match since losing the U.S. Open final, and missing out on a calendar Grand Slam, in September.
He showed signs of rustiness in the French capital on his return to action in the second round, after getting a first-round bye, eventually winning 6-2 4-6 6-3.
The first set was comfortable, and it looked like the Serbian would mark his return with a routine success, but Fucsovics rallied in the second, breaking twice to take the set.
