Top seed Novak Djokovic is slated to face Yannick Hanfmann in the second round of the 2024 Geneva Open on Wednesday, May 22.
Djokovic heads into Geneva with a 12-5 match record so far this year with no title to his name yet, surprisingly enough. He kicked off his 2024 campaign in Melbourne where he reached the semi-finals, losing out to eventual champion Jannik Sinner. He suffered a disappointing defeat to Luca Nardi in the third round of the BNP Paribas Open, going down in a tight three-setter.
The Serb is 4-2 on the red dirt this year. He reached the last four in Monte Carlo, losing out to Casper Ruud in another tight three-setter. He was then blown off the court by Alejandro Tabilo during their third-round encounter in Rome.
Yet to find his best form this season, Djokovic will be hoping he does quickly as he prepares himself to defend his title in Paris in a couple of weeks.
