Djokovic gets late wild card to Geneva Open in bid for more clay action before Roland Garros

Associated Press  

GENEVA — Novak Djokovic is a surprise entry for the Geneva Open, the last men’s warmup for the French Open, and could open against his old friend and rival Andy Murray. The top-ranked Djokovic got the last wild card on Friday, Geneva organizers said. Murray also has a wild card and will play Djokovic in the second round if he gets past Yannick Hanfmann in the first round that was drawn on Friday. An unexpected loss last Sunday to 32nd-ranked Alejandro Tabilo in the third round of the Italian Open has left Djokovic looking for more games on clay before defending his title at Roland Garros.
