Novak Djokovic vs Yoshihito Nishioka French Open 2022 live stream, tv channel, uk start time, h2h

After a frustrating year on and off the pitch, few would have expected Djokovic to arrive in Paris as a favourite, especially after Rafael Nadal’s success in Melbourne earlier in the season.

But the world number one was in fine form and looked incredibly impressive a week ago as he stormed to the Italian Open title without dropping a set.

A potential quarter-final clash against Nadal looms in the distance, although that is not yet Djokovic’s goal as he looks to fight his way through the early rounds.

The first is Nishioka, ranked 94th in the world. The 26-year-old has had an incredibly poor season on clay so far and has never made it past the second round at Roland Garros.

The first round match between Novak Djokovic and Yoshihito Nishioka will take place on Monday, May 23.
