Novak Djokovic Breaks Tradition by Playing ATP 250 Tournament Before Roland-Garros

Rarely, Novak Djokovic will play a tournament a week before playing a Grand Slam. The Serbian, invited to the ATP 250 tournament in Geneva, will be present in Switzerland one week before Roland-Garros, a sign of a probable need for confidence for the world number 1.

This is a big achievement that the organizers of the ATP 250 tournament in Geneva have just achieved. Novak Djokovic, world number 1 and record holder for the number of Grand Slams won (24), will be present in Switzerland one week before Roland-Garros. This participation probably illustrates a certain lack of confidence among the Serbian which is not customary in fact.

Novak Djokovic still chasing a first title in 2024

Eliminated at the Masters 1000 in Rome in the round of 16 this week by the Chilean Alejandro Tabilo, Novak Djokovic has been far from exuding confidence since the start of the season.

The world number 1 shakes up his habits by coming to Geneva who, usually, always leaves a week of rest before competing in a Grand Slam. The Serbian probably needs to regain that famous confidence mentioned previously since for the first time since 2018, he did not win any tournament before arriving at Roland-Garros.

The objective will probably be to win on Roger Federer’s land for Novak Djokovic next week but the task will be far from easy with a field which will include Casper Ruud (7th in the world), Taylor Fritz (13th in the world) or even Ben Shelton (14th in the world).
