On the sidelines of the ATP tournament in Dubai, Novak Djokovic confided his ambition for the tennis tournament of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, which will be organized on the clay courts of Roland-Garros.
Novak Djokovic has won almost everything in his career. Winner of 22 Grand Slam tournaments, six Masters or even a Davis Cup, the Serb only has a bronze medal at the Olympics. Indeed, the world number 1 has never done better than third place in Beijing in 2008. A few minutes after his success against Tallon Griekspoor in the round of 16 of the ATP tournament in Dubai, Novak Djokovic spoke about the next Olympic tennis tournament, which will take place in the summer of 2024 on the clay courts of Roland-Garros.
« I look forward to this deadlinehe confided in a press conference. I hope I can play healthy. Beaten in the small final by Juan Martin del Potro on the grass of Wimbledon in 2012, the Serb intends to take advantage of the holding of the tournament on the courts of another Grand Slam tournament to improve his best result.
Djokovic: “I know these courts well”
Already crowned on Parisian clay as part of the French Open in 2016 and then in 2021, the world number 1 is overflowing with ambition to seek the only title he lacks. ” It will be played on clay at Roland Garros, and I know these courts wellhe recalled. So I hope the best Olympic result for me will happen there. This Olympic tournament in Paris will be an opportunity to make people forget their time in Tokyo in 2021, which ended in the same way as that in London nine years earlier.
Indeed, after his defeat against the future Olympic champion Alexander Zverev, Novak Djokovic had not been able to remobilize for the small final, which opposed him to Pablo Carreño Busta. The Spaniard got the better of the then No. 1 seed in three sets.
