Djokovic 'the snake' tackles Berankis 'the spearfisher' at Roland GarrosEasy does it: Novak Djokovic celebrates after victory over Mikael Ymer in the first roundPARIS - Novak Djokovic, who was likened to a snake by his vanquished first round Roland Garros opponent, tackles spear-fishing fan Ricardas Berankis on Thursday for a place in the last 32. I felt suffocated," said Sweden's Mikael Ymer who took just six games off Djokovic in the opening round in Paris. Djokovic, chasing a second French Open and an 18th major, now has a 32-1 record for the year. He may have more time for that hobby after Thursday against Djokovic who is playing in the second round for the 16th time. Sloane Stephens, the 2017 US Open winner and runner-up at Roland Garros in 2018, plays Spain's Paula Badosa.
