RIO DE JANEIRO -- Novak Djokovic is far too cute to say so, but the world No. 1 must be just a little bit pleased that Roger Federer isnt playing in these Olympics.The Serbian has never seemed to be able to supplant the Swiss as tennis most popular player, no matter how good his game or significant his achievements.But on Saturday night he was certainly enjoying having a clear field on that side of things as he was treated more like a rock star than an athlete throughout his debut at these Games.Women were screaming at him throughout his first-round doubles match as he and Nenad Zimonjic beat Marin Cilic and Marin Draganja 6-2, 6-2 on a very lively Court 1; it wouldnt have been a surprise to hear declarations of love or proposals of marriage.Even afterward as Djokovic conducted interviews in a media area near Centre Court, workers from the Olympic Park were craning to see him and climbing up fencing to have their pictures taken with the Serbian.Yes, Djokovic said when asked if the attention was a level up to that which he attracts on the tour. Im overwhelmed by all the beautiful emotions.Its so special. Im very grateful to be able to experience this from the very beginning of the tournament, to have such a great atmosphere.The tennis venue manager at the Olympic Park said it was chaos trying to escort Djokovic from Court 1 to the media area after his match as crowds flocked around him and blocked his path. He had never seen anything like it.The cheering and attention on the court was pretty intense, too. We walked in and right away you could feel that vibe of the Olympic Games, said Djokovic.[There was] the different color shirts of their nations and [fans] participating in the match, creating the wave and singing, appreciating all the athletes on the court. Thats why the Olympics are so powerful.. Yeezy Canada Sale. It was a great night for the 29-year-old as he dabbled with doubles again, something he hasnt done too often over the past few years, and it will have served as a nice warm-up to his opening singles match against Juan Martin Del Potro on Sunday.Djokovic was beaten by Andy Murray in the semifinals in London four years ago and managed only bronze in Beijing before that.No wonder he has said this week that winning gold would be probably ranked as one of the highest, if not the highest, achievement in my career.To do that, Djokovic said he could do with some help, even if Federer and Stan Wawrinka havent made it to Brazil.The support of Brazilians is something thats very much needed in big battles for medals, he said prior to his match. As the tournament progresses I hope I will [have that] and my love affair with Brazil will grow.Apart from Venus Williams match against Kirsten Flipkens, which she lost ?4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (5), the only match that even vaguely rivaled Djokovics for fan interest on the opening day was Eugenie Bouchards 6-3, 6-3 victory against Sloane Stephens.The pair were parked on the tiny Court 3 and every last bit of space was taken, with many fans standing -- something the arena probably wasnt designed for -- and many more waiting to get in, peering through every gap around the perimeter.When asked if they could have done with a bigger court, Bouchard said: Yeah, its sad. I feel bad if fans cant come in and watch.It was a lot calmer for Madison Keys, who beat Danka Kovinic 6-3, 6-3 in the heat of the day, and more painful for Jack Sock, who went down 6-4, 6-4 to world No. 118 Daniel Taro and revealed he has been suffering from walking pneumonia.
