Novak Djokovic returns to ATP Rome after not having participated in the last edition. The Serbian, six-time champion, seeks to get the necessary momentum before Roland Garros, which begins in less than three weeks. However, his expectations for this tournament, despite his desire to win matches, are not very high: "I was really looking forward to competing and playing tournaments again. I wanted to return to the circuit sooner, but unfortunately, the injury prevented me, so I had to wait a bit longer and progressively improve my physical condition to prepare for Rome. The main goal on this surface is Roland Garros and to try to get there playing my best tennis. But still, I want to perform well here, although I arrive with lower expectations," stated the winner of 24 Grand Slams.
