Novak Djokovic, the world number one, is gearing up to defend his French Open title amidst a lacklustre season. Despite not winning a title in 2024 and facing health issues, Djokovic remains confident in his abilities to secure a fourth Roland Garros title and his 25th major championship.
The Serbian tennis star has faced setbacks this season, including a stomach problem and an unfortunate incident in Rome where he was hit on the head by a water bottle. However, Djokovic remains focused on the challenges ahead and is determined to improve his performance.
In his upcoming match, Djokovic will face French wildcard Pierre-Hugues Herbert, whom he previously defeated in 2013. Meanwhile, other notable matches on Tuesday include Aryna Sabalenka’s bid for her first Roland Garros final and Elena Rybakina’s match against Greet Minnen.
Argentine qualifier Roman Andres Burruchaga, son of the famous footballer Jorge Burruchaga, will also make his Grand Slam debut against Jan-Lennard Struff.
Despite the obstacles he has faced this season, Djokovic’s experience and determination make him a formidable opponent on the court. As he begins his campaign at the French Open, all eyes will be on Djokovic as he seeks to add another Grand Slam title to his impressive resume.
