Novak Djokovic is set to face Mikael Ymer in a first-round clash at French Open 2020. This match is bound to be a firehouse of an opener.

With an eager Djokovic vying to earn his 18th grand slam title, Ymer will be the first obstacle in his way. After the U.S Open 2020 debacle, the Serb wants to continue his winning streak at this year’s rendition of the Roland Garros.
