Novak Djokovic, the 34-year-old tennis superstar, is heading into the French Open with a different perspective this year. Despite a lackluster start to the season, where he has yet to win a title or reach a final, Djokovic remains optimistic with what he calls 'low expectations and high hopes.'
With a record of 14-6 so far this year, Djokovic acknowledges that anything less than a title is unsatisfactory for him, given his illustrious career that includes 24 Grand Slam titles. His recent losses in lower-tier events and semifinals have raised some eyebrows, but Djokovic remains confident in his ability to peak when it matters most.
Despite setbacks and off-court distractions, Djokovic's focus is on building momentum and form as he aims to perform at his best during Grand Slam tournaments. He emphasized that his goal is to play his best tennis at Roland Garros, where he has previously found success.
As the No. 1 seed at the French Open, Djokovic's rivals also recognize his ability to elevate his game when needed. Players like Casper Ruud, a two-time French Open runner-up, still consider Djokovic as the favorite due to his track record and experience in major tournaments.
While Djokovic's 2024 season has been challenging so far, he remains determined to showcase his best tennis on the biggest stages. With a career marked by resilience and success, Djokovic's confidence in his abilities remains unwavering as he prepares to compete at Roland Garros.
