Former world number one Djokovic can play in the French Open! With French Prime Minister Jean Castel announcing that the COVID-19 vaccine passport rules will be suspended in France from March 14, 2022, the high-profile French Open has finally seen serbian king Djokovic. The first Grand Slam Australian Open of the season, djokovic was unable to defend his title at rodravor stadium after some twists and turns due to vaccination problems. More coincidentally, while missing out on the 10th crown of the Australian Open, Djokovic also witnessed his old rival Nadal become the first in history with a record of 21 Grand Slam titles.
If he can successfully participate in the clay season, the Monte Carlo Masters may be an important warm-up for Djokovic in front of the French Open, and he will once again compete with Nadal, Medvedev, Zverev and others. Last season, Djokovic defeated Nadal in the men's singles semifinals of the French Open and successfully reached the top of the final, winning the second French Open men's singles championship trophy of his career and completing the feat of double-lap Grand Slam. The 2022 French Open is Djokovic's defending battle, but from the perspective of competition, it is not difficult for the Serb to win the title.
The king of clay, Nadal, "opened" this season, and after the Australian Open men's singles final was a stunning reversal of world number one Medvedev, the Spanish people were greatly encouraged. With 21 Grand Slam titles, 13 of them coming from the French Open, Nadal is likely to rewrite that history again at Roland Garros. Medvedev's threat on the clay court is not as hard as the hard ground, and in the previous french open trips, the Russian brother has frequently returned home in advance. The German cannon Zverev, who hates at the Australian Open, is the favorite to compete for the French Open, and his previous best result in the tournament was the men's singles semifinals.
Therefore, Djokovic needs to adjust his competitive state and withstand the strong impact of these main opponents. Before the Dubai race, Djokovic, who came back after the Australian Open, was in general condition, not only failed to win the championship, but also allowed Medvedev to achieve a rebound to become the world's first. The importance of the upcoming French Open for Djokovic is self-evident. On the one hand, as the defending champion, if he can win the title again, he will declare his return as the king; on the other hand, Djokovic, who currently has 20 Grand Slam titles, if he wins the French Open, he will once again equal the record of Grand Slam set by Nadal at the Australian Open.
At the 2022 French Open, Nadal once again jumped to the top spot. Especially after winning the Australian Open, which he was not good at, Rafa put all his energy into the French Open. After Djokovic experienced the storm of the Australian Open, both external public opinion and personal mentality have affected his play to varying degrees. Coming to the clay season, Rome, Montreal, Stuttgart and so on will be Djokovic's warm-up matches, as long as he can win any of the championships, he will have full confidence to go to Roland Garros! This Time at the French Open, are you optimistic about Djokovic's defending battle?
