Novak Djokovic vs Philipp Kohlschreiber LIVE STREAM: How to watch Indian Wells match

Djokovic made a shaky start to his opening match against Bjorn Fratangelo but after winning the first set in a tie-break, he upped his level and won the second set 6-2.

And the 31-year-old said winning the first set was key to eventually winning.

He told reporters: “I was excited to be back on the court. I haven’t competed for over five weeks. I was a bit rusty in the first set.

“You know, I was kind of waiting for him to do something with the ball rather than doing it myself.

“That resulted in a very close first set, and I was fortunate to get through that one. You know, I thought I opened up the match with two, three comfortable service games.

“And then, you know, credit to him for serving well and taking the ball on the rise and just dictating the play.

“You know, he was the one that was really aggressive and dictating, you know, the points from the back of the court for entire first set probably.

“As I said, you know, fortunate to get through that one. Obviously, I was more relaxed in the second and played better.”
