After the disappointment of the Australian Open, Novak Djokovic didn’t have a great couple of tournaments in Dubai and Monte Carlo. The Serbian tennis star recently lost in the second round at the Monte Carlo Masters.
He was hoping for a great start at the Serbian Open. However, he almost lost in the first round, but made a remarkable recovery to win his first match against Laslo Dere. After that, he won his quarter-final match as well against Miomir Kecmanovic. In the semi-final, he will face a tough opponent in Karen Khachanov. This could be a great opportunity for the Serb to win this tournament and get his confidence back before he starts his title defense at the French Open.
