Third-seed Novak Djokovic’s next match at the 2024 French Open is on Wednesday (May 31) against 83rd-ranked Hungary’s Marton Fucsovics in Paris.
Djokovic will enter the round on the back of an easy win over Aleksandar Kovacevic 6-3, 6-2, 7-6(7-1) in the first round. Prior to the French Open, the Serb played in six tournaments, winning two of them- the Adelaide International and the Australian Open. However, since those two hard-court wins, the 36-year-old has not tasted victory in the other events. He missed the Indian Wells and the Miami Open due to his vaccination status.
On clay, the two-time French Open champion struggled this year, for he faced a third-round exit at the Monte-Carlo Masters, and quarterfinals exit in Banja Luka and Italian Open.
On the other hand, the Hungarian is still searching for his first title. Previously, he had participated in 12 tournaments this year since playing at the Adelaide International 2. He will be locking horns with Djokovic after a third-round exit in the Lyon Open against Sebastian Baez.
