The 21-time Grand Slam champion, meanwhile, is set to face off against World No. 19 Karen Khachanov in the third round of the 2022 Paris Masters on Thursday.

After a first-round bye, the Serbian beat Maxime Cressy 7-6(1), 6-4 in a tight match.

"It was very intense, just a lot of pressure," Djokovic said at his second-round post-match conference.

"When you play someone that serves this well — first and second serve — you don't have much room to relax and maybe play kind of a softer few games. You just have to be on your toes all the time. Credit to him for serving big in some big moments. I had my chances [in the] first set to break him, second as well," he added.

Khachanov, on his part, swatted aside Sebastian Baez 6-1, 6-1 in the first round. He then took on Marc-Andrea Huesler in the second round, finishing off the match with a 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 win.

The Serbian leads Karen Khachanov 7-1 in the head-to-head and is in great form to take the win.
