Novak Djokovic has shockingly accepted a wildcard into next week’s ATP 250 event in Geneva.
The world number one hasn’t had the best season so far having yet to reach a final at any of his events this season.
There was hope for Djokovic that his fortunes would change on clay and the Serb started his clay court season by reaching the semi-finals in Monte-Carlo before losing to Casper Ruud.
However Djokovic’s clay court hopes were dashed in Rome as he lost in the third round to in-form Chilean Alejandro Tabilo.
This has meant that Djokovic risks being undercooked for the second Grand Slam of the season at Roland Garros.
Therefore the Serb has had no option but to take a wildcard into next week’s ATP 250 in Geneva.
Djokovic will join Casper Ruud, Andy Murray, Denis Shapovalov and Taylor Fritz in next week’s event.
Next week’s appearance will be the first appearance in Geneva in Djokovic who will be the top seed in Switzerland.
