Novak Djokovic had some unusual preparations for his French Open second-round win over Corentin Moutet.

The 38-year-old, bidding for a standalone record 25th Grand Slam singles title, was filmed cycling around the Arc du Triomphe the night before his 6-3 6-2 7-6 (7-1) victory.

The Serb was filmed laughing on the chaotic roundabout – which has no marked lanes – while avoiding a white car that braked just in front of him.

Djokovic later described the bike ride as an “adrenaline experience”.

“Roland Garros was kind enough to gift me a bicycle, so I used it yesterday for the first time. We were kind of trying our luck a little bit with that roundabout,” said Djokovic.

“To be honest at one point we had cars all over the place. It was quite an adrenaline experience but I don’t think I will repeat that.

“We were crazy enough to get into that roundabout. It was fun but at one point also a bit dangerous.

“It’s great to see Paris from the bicycle. I think it’s just more fun.”
