Still, Djokovic was a little worried about his thigh.
But this is “fortunately not a big problem. So far I’ve been able to train, take part in competitions and play points and sets,” explained Djokovic.
“I’m happy that he’s fit again and will play the first round on Tuesday,” he said Eurosport expert Boris Beckerwho coached the 21-time Grand Slam champion from 2013 to 2016.
Djokovic starts his title mission with Roberto Carballés Baena from Spain (Tuesday from approx. 11:00 a.m. CET live on Eurosport 1 and discovery+).
