Given his poor history, former ATP player Sam Querrey wouldn’t be astonished if Novak Djokovic lost early at the 2024 Roland Garros. In their most recent encounter, Djokovic defeated Tallon Griekspoor in two sets, which took place in Geneva. The Serbian gave a strong performance, stronger than the one in Rome, and undoubtedly his best in a long time. The bottle incident, which left Djokovic with some ramifications in the days that followed, probably made the match in Rome an exception. Based on his matches at the ATP 250 tournament in Geneva, he appears to be back to full health with no problems. Nevertheless, the season hasn’t been great overall. Due to his status as one of the greatest players in history, the 37-year-old is expected to perform well in Paris; nevertheless, his performance this year hasn’t been high enough for such an event to occur. That’s the reason why it wouldn’t surprise former player Sam Querrey if he lost the tournament early. “I’m not aware of Djokovic’s situation. I was watching the Italian Open match, where he was playing Tabilo. It appeared that he made no effort. 6-2, 6-3 were his losses. From the third or fourth game on, his mental state was not in the match.” “At this point, he’s only concerned about the Grand Slams, so I trust him to get it together mentally and be engaged and ready to go at the French Open.” Querrey raised a valid argument on motivation, and it’s evident that he is most driven on the largest occasions. Of course, the ATP Masters hold significance for him, but the Grand Slams are the main focus. It’s one thing to be inspired, but will he be able to summon the required amount? That is the query.“In the previous 15 or 16 years, he has never entered the French Open with such appalling performances. Therefore, I wouldn’t be shocked if he fell short against a talent like Tabilo right away.”
