Novak Djokovic next match: Serb's schedule at French Open 2024

World No. 1 and defending champion Novak Djokovic's 2024 French Open campaign is about to get underway. While most of his contemporaries have already arrived in Paris, he's still competing at the Geneva Open.

The Serb hasn't had enough matches, so he decided to take a wildcard to participate there. He has reached the semifinals and will take on Tomas Machac for a spot in the title round on Friday (May 24).

Earlier, Djokovic made the semifinals of the Monte-Carlo Masters and the third round of the Italian Open. He captured his third French Open crown last year, completing a triple career Grand Slam. A triumph this year will make him the first man to achieve the quadruple career Grand Slam.

Additionally, the Serb is gunning for a record 25th Major title. With more history on the line, here's a glance at his schedule at this year's French Open:

The Serb will kick off his title defense against French wildcard Pierre-Hugues Herbert, who has mainly competed on the Challenger circuit this season, winning one title.

He has won five matches over the last two seasons on the ATP Tour. He lost his only meeting against the World No. 1 at the 2013 Paris Masters in straight sets.
