Novak Djokovic has yet to win a title this season. Hasn’t even reached a final. His schedule has been lighter than usual, and so has his record, which is just 14-6 entering the French Open.
PARIS —
And just how low are those expectations? Well, this is Novak Djokovic we’re talking about — the owner of 24 Grand Slam titles, including his third in Paris a year ago, and more time at No. 1 than any player in the history of the computerized rankings — so his definition of that phrase differs greatly from pretty much anyone else’s.
“To me, even though Novak hasn’t had the best year as he typically has, or the same level, I think he is still the favorite,” Ruud said. “He is the No. 1 seed, and he has 24 Slams under his belt, so if there’s anyone who knows when to find their peak and form, it’s probably him.”
