Novak Djokovic addresses Madrid Open expectations after ‘horrible’ start to clay swing
Novak Djokovic has confessed that his expectations for the Madrid Open aren’t high as he returns to the tournament for the first time in three years. On his last outing in 2022, the world No. 5 lost to Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-final. Djokovic had a tough start to the clay swing, losing his opening match in Monte-Carlo and slamming his “horrible” performance.
The three-time Madrid Open champion is now back in action in Spain, with coach Andy Murray by his side. While he’s excited to return to the tournament, Djokovic admitted he isn’t anticipating a good result, but he still hopes to peak at the French Open.
