Novak Djokovic He is not going through his best moment. After the early defeat in the third round of the Rome Masters 1000 against Alejandro Tabilo, the Serbian larrives at Roland Garros without having previously lifted a trophy. It is the second time in his entire career that this situation has happened.

In the run-up to his debut against Yannick HanfmannDjokovic has explained his decision: “The reason I decided to come play here is because, Right now, there is no better training for me than playing matches. I need more games, Even if it’s one or two, I hope there are more. The games that come will be good for me, “It’s my way of finding my way to Roland Garros,” he says.
Despite being focused on the tournament being held in Geneva, the Serbian has Roland Garros on the horizon. Djokovic does not hold back and, despite the great stars who will play, he is clear that Rafa Nadal remains the great favorite: “Ruud is one of the candidates to win. Zverev, Rublev, Tsitsipas… All players who have won on this surface can win. And well, when you talk about Roland Garros and Nadal… For me he is always the big favorite every year. It’s Roland Garros and It is normal that it is the favorite“acknowledges the Serbian. Djokovic added that he can also be considered one of the favorites.
“My head is fine”
The world number 1 is not used to not ‘touching money’ for so long. Asked how he is feeling, Djokovic affirms that on a mental level he does not have any problems: “My head is fine, everything is fine, I have been training correctly for a week. I feel good, we’ll see tomorrow how things go in the game. I have dedicated a lot of time to physical preparation to build some more resistance and strength in the abilities that I need to compete in a Grand Slam best of five sets, also on the most demanding surface of the circuit such as clay. The goal is to have more than one game here in Geneva and then we’ll see what happens in Paris,” concludes the Serbian.
