Novak Djokovic is going through a really delicate moment in the last part of his legendary career and his decision to end the collaboration with Andy Murray is considered as another alarming sign. The former world No.1 seemed visibly confused in his first two red clay tournaments, where he did not go beyond the second round losing decisively to Alejandro Tabilo in Monte Carlo and Matteo Arnaldi in Madrid a few weeks ago.

The 37-year-old Serbian has decided not to play the Rome Masters 1000 for the first time since 2007, has returned to practice in Belgrade and has accepted a wild card from the organizers of the Geneva ATP 250 scheduled for next week.

The feeling is that the 24-time Grand Slam champion absolutely needs to play a few matches on this surface before Roland Garros, where he will certainly not be among the first favorites and could have a very tough draw already from the quarterfinals.

Nole’s ultimate goal

The goal of winning another Major title before the end of his career is getting further and further away for Nole, who is also chasing the 100th trophy of his glorious career. The legend from Belgrade struggles to maintain the same intensity for a long period of time and not even the support of a former champion like Murray has allowed him to recover certain motivations, further testimony of how hard it is to compete at the highest level at almost 38 years old.

According to some analysts and former players, Djokovic should concentrate all his forces on the Wimbledon Championships where he has more chances to prevail than at Roland Garros. It is no coincidence that the Serbian reached the final in London last season as well, when he was in precarious condition due to knee surgery.

Novak was defeated by Carlitos Alcaraz in the final for the second year in a row, before taking revenge on the Spaniard in the final of the Paris Olympics about a month later. That was his last feat so far.

The Geneva tournament will give us further indications on the future of this legend.
