Djokovic Enters Roland Garros with Low Expectations, High Hopes

Novak Djokovic, the 24-time Grand Slam champion, enters Roland Garros with a modest outlook despite his underwhelming season. With a record of 14-6 and no titles to his name, Djokovic acknowledges that his expectations are low. However, he emphasizes that anything less than a title is unsatisfactory for him.

Djokovic's recent performances have been uncharacteristic, with semifinal losses in Geneva, Rome, and Monte Carlo. He has also taken time off to address off-court matters. Despite these setbacks, Djokovic remains confident in his abilities, particularly in Grand Slams.

"I know what I'm capable of, and particularly in the Grand Slams, I normally play the best tennis," Djokovic said. "That's the goal."

Djokovic's rivals, such as Casper Ruud, believe he is still the favorite at Roland Garros. Ruud said, "He is the No. 1 seed, and he has 24 Slams under his belt, so if there's anyone who knows when to find their peak and form, it's probably him."

Djokovic's approach to Roland Garros is focused on building form and momentum daily. He acknowledges that his recent struggles have affected him but remains optimistic about his chances.

"I'm trying to build the form and momentum, so that I can have a better chance to reach further in the tournament," Djokovic said.

Despite his low expectations, Djokovic's high hopes stem from his belief in his abilities and his track record of success in Grand Slams.
