Novak Djokovic eyes clay court comeback

The 24-time Grand Slam winner is all set to return to the action in the forthcoming Geneva Open 2025 as a wildcard this time. Meanwhile, Djokovic needs to stage his comeback in the clay court swing. He is yet to register his first win on this surface. The star player has suffered a first-round exit in the Monte Carlo Masters and Mutua Madrid Open, while he didn't appear in the Barcelona Open 2025.

"I didn't have too many matches on clay. I did practise well, but it's completely different when you step out on the match court. I think the positive thing is that I really enjoyed myself more than I did in Monte Carlo, so that's a good thing. But obviously the level of tennis is not where I would like it to be. But that's the circle of life and the career; eventually it was going to happen," Novak Djokovic said after the Madrid Open 2R shocker.
