Novak Djokovic to Open French Open Campaign Against Pierre-Hugues Herbert

Singles Draw Announced for Roland Garros

The singles draw for the second Grand Slam event of the season, the Roland Garros, has been made. Top seed and defending singles champion Novak Djokovic will open his 2024 campaign against world no143 Pierre-Hugues Herbert.

Djokovic's Recent Form

Djokovic has been in impressive form in recent months. In October, he sealed back-to-back titles in tournament debut appearances in Tel Aviv, Israel (ATP 250) and Astana, Kazakhstan (ATP 500). This qualified him for the season-ending ATP Finals in Turin, Italy.

At the ATP Finals, Djokovic reached the semi-finals, where he was defeated by eventual champion Andrey Rublev. Despite not winning the title, Djokovic's performance in Turin demonstrated his continued status as one of the top players in the world.

Conclusion

Novak Djokovic will be aiming to extend his dominance at the Roland Garros. The Serbian has won the French Open twice, in 2016 and 2021. He will be hoping to add a third title to his collection and cement his legacy as one of the greatest tennis players of all time.
