Novak Djokovic is too forceful and composed to be threatened by Berlocq. Djokovic could not have wished for an easier start to his 2011 US Open campaign, spending just 44 minutes on court Tuesday en route to the second round. The ATP World Tour No. 1 was leading Irish qualifier Conor Niland 6-0, 5-1 when the 29 year old retired due to illness. Djokovic, who is looking to become the sixth man in the Open Era to win three Grand Slam titles in the same season, improved his remarkable record in 2011 to 58-2. The two-time Flushing Meadows finalist dropped just seven points in six service games. Djokovic, who retired midway through the Cincinnati final against Andy Murray in his last outing, said he felt good physically today. “After Cincinnati I took some time off, and I did everything in order to recover the shoulder. Today I didn't feel any pain. I served well and I played well, so I have no concern.”
Carlos Berlocq defeated Australian Bernard Tomic 7–5 6–4 6–2 in the first round at the 2011 French Open. He won 57 matches and three titles on Challenger circuit. His best ATP World Tour result was QF in Costa do Sauipe as a qualifier in February. He won Challenger titles in Tudi (d. Granollers) San Benedetto (d. Gimeno-Traver) and Reggio Emilia (d. Andujar) while runner-up at Alessandria (l. to Phau) and Cancun (l. to Riba).
Head to Head: Roddick leads 1-0
These players have never played each other at an ATP World Tour, Grand Slam or Davis Cup main draw event.
