Novak Djokovic He left the Italian Open on Tuesday in the middle of a lost three -game streak, questioning about how well he will be able to play at the next France Open as he continues to search for a 25th Grand Slam trophy and a 100th grade tournament title.
The Clay Court event in Rome, to be held next month, published on social media that Djokovic would not participate and wrote: “See you next year, Nole”, referring to the 37 -year -old Serbian star for his nickname.
Djokovic fought this season, spending only 12-6 and leaving his last three contests in a row – at Miami Open, Monte Carlos Masters and on Saturday at Madrid Open.
After losing Matteo Arnaldi 6-3, 6-4 in Spain, Djokovic said: “It’s a completely different feeling than I had in 20 years more professional tennis. It is a challenge for me mentally to really face this type of sensations on the court, coming out early now regularly in the tournaments.”
He spent more weeks in number 1 than any other tennis player but is currently No. 5. His only title in 2024 or 2025 was the gold medal he claimed Carlos Alcaraz In the final of the Paris Olympics in August.
Djokovic said on several occasions that what he now cares about is adding to his main championships. The next event begins in Paris on May 25th.
He had to retire during last year’s tournament at Roland Garros because of an knee injury that required surgery. Djokovic also arrested himself during the Australia Open this January because of a torn hamstring muscle.
