BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Novak Djokovic rallied from a set down to beat compatriot Laslo Djere 2-6, 7-6 (6), 7-6 (4) in the second round of the Serbia Open on Wednesday in a match that lasted almost 3 1/2 hours. The top-ranked Serb struggled to find his ...

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Novak Djokovic rallied from a set down to beat compatriot Laslo Djere 2-6, 7-6 (6), 7-6 (4) in the second round of the Serbia Open on Wednesday in a match that lasted almost 3 1/2 hours.

NOVAK DJOKOVIC was in action in front of his home crowd in Belgrade as his quest to build up match fitness ahead of the French Open continues.

However, he would break back for the first time in the match as he clawed his way back and made the most of a couple of errors from Djere to level the scores again. Predictably, the match was decided by another tie-break, piling pressure on Djere who had won only one of eight he had taken part in this year prior to this match. In fact, it was the world number 50 who led throughout most of the deciding set as he continued to make life difficult for Djokovic. He could not build on a run of fine shots as he surrendered Djere's fifth service game of the set rather meekly. But the nerves later set in for Djere, who began to tighten up and make simple mistakes whenever he had the chance to really take hold of the tie. The 26-year-old did it twice in that first set, racing to a 5-2 lead before Djokovic managed to put up any form of real opposition.

Other key players who are set to miss the tournament include eighth-ranked men’s player Andrey Rublev from Russia, his compatriot World No. 15 women’s player Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and former women’s World No. 1 Belarusian star Victoria Azarenka. Wimbledon is the first major tennis event to ban the participation of players from these countries and it is unclear if any of the other three Grand Slams will follow suit. Djokovic is no stranger to controversies surrounding rules that exclude players from participating in grand slam events. In the Balkans we have had many wars in recent history,” Djokovic said.

Djokovic condemned the war in Ukraine, while Ukrainian player Elina Svitolina called for players to state where they stand on Russia's invasion.

Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus, the world’s fourth-ranked women’s player, was a Wimbledon and U.S. Open semifinalist last year. The move affects a handful of players, none more prominent than Daniil Medvedev, the 26-year-old Russian who lost last year in Wimbledon’s fourth round and was the second choice in betting markets to win this year’s event. If players don’t speak out against the Russian government, then it is the right thing to ban them,” she told the BBC’s Radio Five Live Breakfast. “We just want them to speak up, if they are with us and the rest of the world or the Russian government. Facing the possibility of legal challenges, the AELTC said it would “consider and respond accordingly” if circumstances change before the tournament begins on June 27. “We don’t want them banned completely. In the Balkans, we have had many wars in recent history.

The Russian attack on Ukraine is an evolving story, with information changing quickly. With NATO forces massing in the region around Ukraine, various countries have also pledged aid or military support to the resistance. This is just panic," Liliya Marynchak, a 45-year-old teacher in Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine, told PEOPLE of the moment her city was bombed — one of numerous accounts of bombardment by the Russians. "When politics interferes with sport, the result is not good." In the Balkans, we have had many wars in recent history," he said, according to CNN.
