Novak Djokovic said goodbye to the Geneva tournament this Friday. The Serbian fell in the semifinals against Czech Tomas Macchac23 years old and world number 44, 6-4, 0-6 and 6-1 in 2h.07′, a defeat of no great consequence as the Serbian is set to make his debut, on Tuesday, at Roland Garros.
More worrying are the sensations sent by the world number 1both on a tennis and physical level.
At the last Masters 1000 in Rome he suffered an unfortunate bottleneckthen he underwent medical tests that revealed he had no injuries, so he decided to compete this week in Geneva with an invitation.
However, against Machac, Djokovic showed signs of weakness at some moments of the match. During one of the breaks, the cameras caught his right hand shaking as he prepares to drink.
“I was worried, of course. I don’t see myself as a favorite in Paris. I had a terrible feeling in the first half of the game. It is not pleasant to suffer like this in court. It’s hard to focus on tennis when you have other things on your mind. I just hope to be ready and in good health for Roland-Garros,” he said somewhat cryptically at a press conference.
And, indeed, he will come to Roland Garros to defend the title and world number one with many doubts.. Among those he chose after losing in the semi-finals of the Australian Open (Jannik Sinner), third in Indian Wells (Luca Nardi), semi-finals in Monte Carlo (Casper Ruud) and third in Rome (Alejandro Tabilo), he joined. the ones he just cultivated at the ATP 250 tournament in Geneva.
