Djokovic is allowed to attend Roland Garros, experts doubt the “door” of the championship

(Sports news – Tennis news) Djokovic can compete at Roland Garros 2022 but experts doubt his ability to defend the title.

Good news to Novak Djokovic when the French Government decided to relax the entry regulations for those who have not been vaccinated against Covid-19. If this decision is kept until the end of May, Nole will have the opportunity to defend the throne at Roland Garros 2022.

Expert Brad Gilbert doubts Djokovic’s form at Roland Garros 2022

Before that, Djokovic was stripped of the right to compete at the Australian Open 2022 because he had not received a Covid-19 vaccine. This player has not been allowed to enter the US to attend tournaments taking place here. The only tournament Djokovic has attended in 2022 is the Dubai Championships.

Therefore, tennis expert Brad Gilbert is somewhat worried about Nole’s performance. “Before Covid-19 appeared, I thought Djokovic would break all records because no one could stop him. However, I doubt it at the moment. When you are continuously winning and having to take a long break, it will be no small difficulty.

It’s like forgetting. I think even if Novak is allowed to play again across Europe, I still have to follow his results closely. I want to see what Nole does to get back in shape. Whether he can do it or not is still a big question.”

Earlier, expert Mats Wilander assessed that Djokovic has enough time to prepare well for Roland Garros, but the Serbian needs to have “a few tournaments before that to get back in shape”. The next tournament Djokovic attends is Monte Carlo 2022 and then the Serbian Open.
