May 28, (THEWILL) – Novak Djokovic’s preparation for the French Open has been far from ideal, with a series of setbacks in his recent performances.
After a victorious return to the Australian Open, Djokovic faced defeat in Dubai and experienced visa issues that caused him to miss subsequent tournaments. Disappointing results in Monaco and Bosnia further added to his underwhelming form.
However, Djokovic remains optimistic, stating, “I haven’t had a fantastic preparation…but I’m aiming for that and I’m hoping that I come to life and come to reality here.” As the two-time champion of the French Open, Djokovic knows what it takes to win and views the Grand Slam tournaments as a unique challenge. Despite the obstacles, he is determined to give his all and target a third title.
Reflecting on his upcoming match, Djokovic said, “I hope that experience can help me, but we have to take things step by step, one match at a time.” He also expressed disappointment over Rafael Nadal’s absence from the tournament, acknowledging the opportunity it presents for other players while also contemplating the future of his own career.
