Novak Djokovic complained to the French Open final umpire that he was too quick to start the clock at changeovers in the first set on Sunday.

The Serbian, chasing a record-breaking 23rd men's singles Grand Slam title at Roland Garros, expressed his frustration with Benoit Dumusois after losing a game that put his opponent Casper Ruud 6-5 up."You start , I've not even come to the bench, why are you rushing?" Djokovic asked Dumusois. "You can wait for us to sit down and call the score . We're playing one hour and 10 minutes, it's a five setter in Grand Slam on clay."
