Unbelievable, Djokovic is going to play in Geneva!
The Geneva tournament has pulled off quite a coup, with Novak Djokovic surprising everyone by playing in Switzerland.
Although the Serb is not accustomed to playing competitively in the week leading up to a Grand Slam, it seems he thought it best to pick up a few extra matches before Paris. In view of his extremely disappointing 2024 season (11 wins, 5 losses, no titles and no finals), the world number 1 accepted the wild-card offered by the Geneva tournament.
Nole's objective seems clear: to reassure himself after the slap he suffered at the hands of Tabilo in Rome, and above all not to come to Paris without a title, something he hasn't done since 2006.
In Switzerland, he won't start until Tuesday or Wednesday and will only be able to play a maximum of 4 matches. At the same time, he joins an already strong field for an ATP 250, with Casper Ruud, Taylor Fritz, Sebastian Baez, Andy Murray, Ben Shelton and Denis Shapovalov also taking part.
