Djokovic 'concerned' over shock Rome exit as French Open looms

China Daily  

Novak Djokovic reacts during Sunday's loss in Rome. AP ROME — Novak Djokovic described his shock third-round elimination from the Italian Open at the hands of Alejandro Tabilo on Sunday as "concerning", coming two days after he was hit on the head by a bottle, which he said has caused nausea and dizzy spells. With the French Open getting underway in two weeks, as the defending champion, Djokovic admitted that "everything needs to be better in order for me to have at least a chance to win" a 25th Grand Slam. Djokovic's early elimination means that the last top-flight men's tournament before Roland Garros is now wide open, with third seed Alexander Zverev beating home hope Luciano Darderi, ranked 54th in the world, 7-6, 6-2. In the women's competition, Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka will face Elina Svitolina for the first time since their handshake row at last year's French Open, after both players cruised into the last 16.
