L’ex-N.1 mondial Novak Djokovic (actuel 5e) a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9limin\u00e9 samedi d\u00e8s son entr\u00e9e en lice au 2e tour du Masters 1000 de Madrid, un peu plus de deux semaines apr\u00e8s avoir subi le m\u00eame sort \u00e0 Monte-Carlo.
Le triple vainqueur du tournoi (2011, 2016, 2019) s’est inclin\u00e9 6-3, 6-4 contre l’Italien Matteo Arnaldi (44e), qu’il affrontait pour la premi\u00e8re fois.
Exempt\u00e9 de premier tour, le Serbe de 37 ans devra attendre pour d\u00e9crocher sa premi\u00e8re victoire sur terre battue depuis son sacre olympique aux Jeux de Paris, \u00e0 l’\u00e9t\u00e9 2024.
Le Djoker s’est pourtant d\u00e9men\u00e9 dans le deuxi\u00e8me set, offrant des points spectaculaires au public madril\u00e8ne mais se heurtant \u00e0 un adversaire exceptionnellement solide au retour.
Comme il l’avait pr\u00e9cis\u00e9 apr\u00e8s s’\u00eatre d\u00e9j\u00e0 inclin\u00e9 d\u00e8s le 2e tour au Masters 1000 de Monte-Carlo, la priorit\u00e9 revendiqu\u00e9e de Djokovic sur la surface ocre est le tournoi de Roland-Garros (25 mai-8 juin), o\u00f9 il tentera de d\u00e9crocher un 25e titre du Grand Chelem, ce qui serait un record.
Arnaldi a lui sign\u00e9 samedi \u00e0 24 ans la deuxi\u00e8me victoire de sa carri\u00e8re contre un membre du top 5, apr\u00e8s avoir battu le Norv\u00e9gien Casper Ruud (alors 4e) en 2023, d\u00e9j\u00e0 au 2e tour \u00e0 Madrid.
Son prochain adversaire sera le Bosnien Damir Dzumhur (63e), qui a surpris en trois sets le sp\u00e9cialiste argentin de la terre battue Sebastian Baez (33e) plus t\u00f4t dans la journ\u00e9e.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
