‘I am worried’: Novak Djokovic heads to the French Open with no titles in 2024

The Hindu  

Novak Djokovic will defend his French Open title in Paris without a trophy this season, after losing in the Geneva Open semifinals on May 24. The 44th-ranked Tomas Machac beat Djokovic 6-4, 0-6, 6-1 in the last clay-court event to prepare for Roland Garros, where main draw play starts on Sunday. "I’m going to take it match by match and see how far I can go.” Machac took his first match-point chance which came on Djokovic’s serve, and clinched when Djokovic pushed a backhand long. Machac will play his first tour final on Saturday against two-time Geneva champion Casper Ruud, the French Open runner-up for the past two years, or the unseeded Flavio Cobolli.
