Now, Novak is all set to play both the French Open and the Wimbledon. Earlier, it looked pretty impossible for the Serb to play the Grand Slam tournaments after the Australian Open snub. However, after the French government changed the rule regarding vaccination, it was certain that Wimbledon will also do the same. Now, it’s up to Djokovic to use this opportunity to add more major titles to his name.
Djokovic had a terrible season so far
Even though Djokovic received the good news about participating in Wimbledon, his current form will worry him a little bit. After leaving the Australian Open, he only played three tournaments this year and those are the Dubai Open, Monte Carlo Masters, and the Serbian Open.

The Serb’s performance was pretty dreadful in the first two tournaments. However, he bounced back at the Serbian Open by reaching the finals.
Although he lost the final against Andrey Rublev, he looked content with his performance. In his mind, he is progressing slowly to achieve full fitness for the Grand Slams. Meanwhile, Djokovic is all set to take part in Madrid and Rome before the French Open. Safe to say, these two tournaments will be crucial for him to get some information about his current form before Roland Garros starts in May.
