BELGRADE - World number one Novak Djokovic has enjoyed two good weeks on red clay but admitted that winning a second French Open title would be a tall order after a crushing defeat by Rafael Nadal in last week’s Italian Open final.
That defeat aside, the Serb’s form seems to have peaked in time for the May 26-June 9 tournament. However, the 32-year-old from Belgrade, who has won 15 Grand Slam titles, made it clear Nadal, who is the same age, was the favorite at Roland Garros. “I think it’s going to be a really good tournament. Dominic Thiem has been playing some good tennis and he can beat anybody, especially on clay.
A quarter-final loss in Monte Carlo came on the back of early exits at Indian Wells and Miami, prompting speculation by pundits that Djokovic was heading for a dip in form similar to the one in 2016 after he won his maiden French Open title.

French man taken off life support, put back on after eleventh-hour court rulingHours after they began the process of allowing him to die, French doctors were ordered to restore the life support of a man in a vegetative state whose controversial case has divided his family and the public: Was anyone thinking of what they were subjecting him to when they had him on the brink of death just to suddenly reverse it? I find that to be a selfish move. No one alive would prefer to remain in a vegetative state for the rest of their days so someone else can feel content. If Donald Trumpe was on that Life support machine i would just unplug it and charge my phone. Not that i hate him, i just dont like low battery 🔋 😂😂
