Novak Djokovic is set to compete for a record 25th Grand Slam title when he enters the French Open.
The Serbian has mentioned on numerous occasions that he aims to peak in time for majors, the four biggest and most prestigious events in tennis.
Novak Djokovic reached the semi-finals in Paris a year ago but he was forced to withdraw due to a knee injury.
Now the 37-year-old is set to go for glory at the French Open once again, and despite his recent form, you can never count him out.

Djokovic is set to compete at the French Open for the 21st time in his illustrious career.
The draw has now been revealed and the World number six will commence his campaign against America’s Mackenzie McDonald.
Should Djokovic reach the second round, he will take on either a qualifier or home favourite Corentin Moutet.
Yunchaokete Bu or Canada’s Denis Shapovalov could be waiting for Djokovic in round three, before some more tricky opponents lie ahead in the next round.
Either Daniil Medvedev or Stan Wawrinka, who defeated Djokovic in the 2015 French Open final, could face the former World number one in the fourth round.
Should Djokovic return to the quarter-finals, he could face a rematch with Francisco Cerundolo who he defeated in five sets in the last eight a year ago. Another opponent Djokovic could have in the quarter-finals is Alexander Zverev, who reached the finals in 2024.
Djokovic could then advance to the semi-finals where Jannik Sinner could be across the net, or Britain’s Jack Draper, who is having the best season of his career. Should Djokovic advance to his ninth French Open final, defending champion Carlos Alcaraz could be his likely opponent.

In a bid to increase his match sharpness ahead of Roland Garros, Djokovic is competing at this week’s Geneva Open.
He has played just three matches on clay since the 2024 Olympics after opening round defeats in Monte Carlo and Madrid.
But Djokovic has made an impressive start to his Geneva campaign after recording a 6-2, 6-3 victory over Márton Fucsovics.
He will have a chance at revenge when he takes on Matteo Arnaldi, who defeated Djokovic in straight sets in Madrid.
