A patch season of Djokovic’s sublime standards questioned the stamina and inspiration coming into Rolland Garos.

The departure of rival-cook-coach Andy Murray also indicated that things were not working as expected, although she heated by winning her 100th ATP title at the Geneva Open.

Djokovic’s performance against Papar showed that he is not yet ready to roll in retirement – and emphasized why he prioritize four major in the later stages of his career.

“Those tournaments are the priorities of my program,” Djokovic said.

“Wimbledon and US Open, yes, they are in plans. I can say all this now.

“I think I want to play both of them, of course. For the rest, I am not sure.”

Djokovic would bid for a record-eighth men’s singles title in Wimbledon, who lost to Alkaraz in the last two finals.

“Wimbledon is my childhood favorite tournament. I am going to make every effort to prepare myself,” he said.

“I think my best chance is probably Wimbledon, you know, another slam or perhaps to win Australia.”
