Djokovic says he’s been working hard on fitness for Roland-Garros

Djokovic is, of course, the defending champion at Roland-Garros, having beaten Casper Ruud in the final 12 months ago.

He’ll open his title bid in Geneva on Wednesday – his 37th birthday – against Yannick Hanfmann and said he’s been working hard off the court to be ready.

“In terms of fitness, I’ve dedicated quite a bit of time with my new fitness coach to build the endurance, to build physical strength and capabilities that I need in order to play a best-of-five Grand Slam on the physically most demanding surface, which is clay,” he said.

“So hopefully I’m going to get more than one match here in Geneva, that’s the goal and then let’s see what happens in Paris.”
