Novak Djokovic v Roberto Carballes Baena: How to watch, TV channel, start time and head-to-head stats

Novak Djokovic made a routine start to his French Open title defence, ousting home hope Pierre-Hugues Herbert in straight sets, and now the 24-time Grand Slam champion turns his attention to Spain’s Roberto Carballes Baena.

Djokovic was made to work harder than many anticipated against Herbert as he took two hours and 33 minutes to prevail in a 6-4 7-6 6-4 win, and an even tougher match could be expected against Carballes Baena.

The Spaniard came past Frenchman Constant Lestienne 6-3 7-5 4-6 6-2 in his first-round victory, while he did finish runner-up to Matteo Berrettini in a clay-court event in Marrakech last month.
