Novak Djokovic will be back on the slopes next week at the Belgrade ATP 250, tournament in which he defends title. The Serbian’s only match of the clay court season has been the loss in the second round of the Monte Carlo Masters 1000. Novak Djokovic will seek to find good sensations, with Roland Garros as the ultimate goal. At the Serbia Open, you can find rivals who do not make it easy for you. His first opponent will be a compatriot, Laslo Djere or Hamad Medjedovic, his next test will be more serious. The world number one could find himself in the quarter-finals with Dominic Thiem, who is coming off injury, Richard Gasquet or Miomir Kecmanovic. In the semis he could play Karen Khachanov, whose favorite surface is not clay, or Filip Krajinovic. His rival to beat in the final could be Andrey Rublev, Cristian Garín or Fabio Fognini.
Do you see the Serbian as a favorite to win?
