Overview

• Novak Djokovic defeated 19-year-old Learner Tien 6-1, 7-6(3), 6-2 after taking a medical timeout for a right‑foot blister and showing signs of fatigue.
• The 38-year-old extended his record to 75 consecutive Grand Slam first‑round wins and set up a second‑round match against American qualifier Zachary Svajda.
• Daniil Medvedev was knocked out by Benjamin Bonzi 6-3, 7-5, 6-7(5), 0-6, 6-4 in a first‑round match that was stopped for about six minutes late in the third set.
• During Bonzi’s match point, a photographer entered the court, chair umpire Greg Allensworth restored a first serve, the crowd booed, and Medvedev berated the official before later smashing multiple racquets.
• Tournament officials said the photographer was escorted off the court and had credentials revoked, as the incident prompted questions about officiating decisions and on‑court access.
