This Geneva campaign serves as a crucial tune-up for Djokovic ahead of the French Open, where he aims to secure a record-extending 25th Grand Slam title. Despite early exits in Monte Carlo and Madrid, Djokovic remains determined: “Grand Slams are the ones that are basically getting me up from the bed every day. Knowing that I have to hit the practice courts, I always think about what I can do in Grand Slams. So here I am. Hopefully, I can have another deep run.”
