Novak Djokovic is set to return to action at the upcoming Geneva Open.
The Serbian withdrew from the Italian Open which certainly raised some eyebrows given his need to play more matches before the French Open.
But Novak Djokovic will indeed play again before heading to Paris to compete for a record 25th Grand Slam title.
Djokovic accepted a wildcard into the Geneva Open where he aims to have a strong tournament and build his match sharpness before Roland Garros commences on May 25.
Novak Djokovic’s Geneva Open draw has been released
While Djokovic prepares to compete at the Geneva Open for a second successive year, his potential path to the title has been released.
Djokovic is set to open his campaign against either Marton Fucsovics or Zizou Bergs, who will face one another on Sunday.
The former World number one has a chance to contest a rematch with Matteo Arnaldi if both players reach the quarter-finals.
Arnaldi defeated Djokovic 6-3, 6-4 at the Madrid Open in April to hand the 37-year-old his third successive loss.
Should Djokovic avenge that loss, he could take on Tomas Machac in the semi-finals, the same player who defeated him at the Geneva Open a year ago.
If Djokovic goes on to make his second final of the season, he could face either Taylor Fritz or Karen Khachanov for a chance to claim his 100th ATP title.
Will Novak Djokovic have a new coach with him at the Geneva Open?
Djokovic is currently without a coach after ending his partnership with Andy Murray.
The pair began working together at the start of the season and during that time Djokovic reached the Australian Open semi-finals and the Miami Open final.
Now they have parted ways and as it stands Djokovic will enter the Geneva Open without adding a new coach to his team.
It remains to be seen if that will change ahead of the French Open and if so, it will be interesting to see who Djokovic’s new coach could be.
