unsettling Novak Djokovic of 2024. From touching the glory of completing a Grand Slam in the same season, which he led with enough, to navigating without a clear direction on the track. At just 37 years old, he continues to be mired in a dangerous cycle of uncertainty.
He will come to Roland Garros, to defend the title and world number one, with many doubts. The losers of the semi-finals of the Australian Open (Jannik Sinner), third from Indian Wells (Luca Nardi), Monte Carlo semi-finals (Casper Ruud) and third from Rome (Alejandro Tabilo) joined those he had just cultivated at the ATP 250 tournament in Geneva.
He broke the golden rule of favorites for a Grand Slam, which is not to compete the week before one of them, and it helped him play three more matches on clay (14-6 balance this season, 6 -3 to clay ) rather than not recovering sensations or strengthening with a positive result.
He will appear in Paris after losing in the Geneva semifinals against the Czech Tomas Macac23 years old and world number 44, 6-4, 0-6 and 6-1 in 2h.07′.
Djokovic, irregular, different. Hits but no consistency. Or he wants to go to Paris, where he will make his debut against the Frenchman Pierre-Hugues Herbert, or you won’t find a solution to your problems. Go to Roland Garros without a safety net. All or nothing. There are no more possible masks, with an open face and what you have or can get as the most open Roland Garros in recent decades progresses.
In a press conference, he assured that “Of course, I’m worried. I don’t see myself as a favorite in Paris. I had a terrible feeling in the first half of the match (he asked for medical help). No it’s pleasant. To suffer like this on the court. It’s hard to concentrate on the game.” tennis when you have something else on your mind. I just hope to be ready and in good health for Roland-Garros,” he said somewhat enigmatically.
After suffering the bottleneck in Rome, he underwent medical tests and decided to compete in Geneva with an invitation.
