Djokovic went down to a 6-4, 0-6, 6-1 loss having taken a late wildcard into the Swiss clay-court tournament in a bid to reverse an alarming dip in form ahead of Roland Garros where the 24-time Grand Slam champion has won three times. — AFP picGENEVA, May 25 — World number one Novak Djokovic admitted he was “worried” about his French Open title defence after falling to 44th-ranked Czech Tomas Machac in the Geneva semi-finals yesterday.
“It was a terrible feeling with stomach and health today — it was not a great night and today as well,” said Djokovic to atptour.com.“But I don’t want to take anything away from his win, he deserved it. I don’t know what to think about this match to be honest. I want to forget about it and move on to Paris.”
Djokovic, bidding for his fourth French Open title, could lose his number one ranking in Paris to Jannik Sinner and must reach the semi-finals to have any chance of keeping the Italian at bay.
