Novak Djokovic — May 09

Novak Djokovic has accepted a wild card into the Gonet Geneva Open, which runs from 18-24 May.

The 37-year-old Serbian will make his second appearance at the ATP 250 clay-court event, having also competed in Geneva last year ahead of Roland Garros. Djokovic will look to rediscover his form in Switzerland after losing his past two matches on clay in Monte-Carlo and Madrid. He did not compete in Rome.


The No. 6 in the PIF ATP Rankings, who reached the semi-finals in Geneva 12 months ago, holds a 12-7 record on the season, according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index, highlighted by his final run in Miami and semi-final showing at the Australian Open.

Djokovic will chase his 100th tour-level title in Geneva, where Top 10 stars Taylor Fritz and Casper Ruud are also set to compete.

Having this year moved to the Roland Garros qualifying week, the ATP 500 in Hamburg also boasts two Top 10 players (Jannik Sinner, No. 1 and Holger Rune, No. 10). Sinner is returning to action this week on home soil at the ATP Masters 1000 event in Rome.
