Keegan Matheson on Blue Jays, Baseball Memories, and More | SaltWire #writer #torontobluejays #mlbPARIS - Defending champion Novak Djokovic will have low expectations and high hopes at the French Open this year, but the top-ranked Serb said on Sunday that he knew how to raise his game on the biggest stage despite a wobbly season.
"I know what I'm capable of, and particularly in the Grand Slams I normally play the best tennis, at least I aim always to play the best tennis and I was most of my career able to do that, so that's the goal," Djokovic told reporters. A late wild card at Geneva offered him a chance to end his title drought last week, but he remains trophy-less five months into the season after a semi-final defeat by unheralded Tomas Machac on Friday.
"That's why I have a an approach that is focused on a daily basis, more trying to build the form and momentum, so that I can have a better chance to reach further in the tournament.""I almost feel a bit embarrassed to say what my expectations are. Anything but a title is not satisfactory... I know it might sound arrogant to a lot of people, but I think I have the career that backs it up," he added.
