Why Novak Djokovic now feels confident in his bid for 25th Grand Slam in French Open?

Serbian ace Novak Djokovic says that he is all set to fight for a record of the 25th major title after his stellar start in the French Open 2025. The tennis legend defeated Mackenzie McDonald in the opening round with a scoreline of 6-3, 6-3, 6-3, and stormed into the second round at Roland Garros. However, things didn't seem quite easy for the Serbian star.

The star player hasn't won the Grand Slam titles since 2024, and their performance has been a mixed bag. The star player did make it to the semi-finals of the Australian Open 2025 but suffered a first-round exit in the Qatar Open and Indian Wells.

Thereafter, he made it to the Miami Open 2025 finals but lost against Jakub Mensik. The 24-time Grand Slam winner then crashed out in the opening round in the Monte Carlo Masters and Mutua Madrid Open before pulling out from the Italian Open 2025. The star player has finally achieved a win at the Geneva Open 2025, where he won his 100th ATP title ahead of the second Grand Slam of the year.

"I actually was considering winning a 25th Grand Slam before, so it hasn't changed much, but it's true that after the Geneva title, I feel more confident. I feel more positive about my level of play because I had a lot of concerns. But now, after Geneva, I feel better, I still have a lot of ambitions, and I still have high objectives. I would like to maintain this high level, this dedication, hopefully to reach the best possible result," the 24-time Grand Slam champion said.
