The number one world tennis, Novak Djokovic, was more than expected to the Belgian Xavier Malisse (6-2, 4-6, 7-5) in the first round in Basel, his reunion with the competition after his triumph at the U.S. Open on 9 September.

The victory puts the record in 2011 at 65 wins and three losses, which have been put up three Grand Slam titles.

The Balkan was irregular. He was strong in the first race, won with solvency, but dropped his pace in the second, which allowed Malisse get into the match after winning the set. In the tiebreaker, Djokovic prepared an income of 3-0, 4-1 and 5-2, he let out to meet a tight end who eventually won.

Djokovic in the second round will face an opponent from the previous phase. The winner of the duel between the German Tobias Kamke and Polish Lukasz Kubot.

The abandonment of American Mardy Fish, fifth seed, when he won by 1-0 to compatriot James Blake, because of a hamstring injury, was the most striking of a session without conspicuous markers.

The Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka beat Croatian Ivan Dodig (6-4, 6-4) and may be the rival of the second-seeded Andy Murray, if Wednesday Dutchman Robin Haase beats.
