REUTERS: Three weeks after an acrimonious exit at the U.S. Open, world number one Novak Djokovic will resume his pursuit of an 18th Grand Slam title when he takes on Sweden's Mikael Ymer in the first round at the French Open on Tuesday.
The incident raised question marks over Djokovic's volatile on-court behaviour in an otherwise perfect 2020 season, in which he has assembled a tour-leading 31-1 record. "I don't want to sound arrogant. I am very satisfied and pleased to win a title. I know I still have a couple of gears," said Djokovic after sealing his record 36th Masters trophy.Six-times Grand Slam champion John McEnroe said Djokovic had shown strength of character to respond so positively to his New York debacle and believes the 33-year-old has fixed his mind on surpassing the Grand Slam records of Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.
"He's been able to break himself into the two all-time greatest players and be part of that mix where you decide maybe Novak will be the greatest."
