Reasonably strong field, for a 250 prior to a slam. But if he does not make the final, time to panic.
(Or the semis and retires due to some mystery issue).

Interesting that Djokovic last played the week before a slam in 2021 when he played, and won a tournament in Belgrade the week before the French Open.

by ashkor87 Yes, Djokovic is the kind of player who benefits from more matches...

by ashkor87 glad to see Michelsen do well.. he is not afraid to go forward... volleying is actually a good tactic on clay, you need a way to finish the point , after all.. provided you are not silly about the kind of approach you go up behind..

by ponchi101 You need to hit a monster approach. Otherwise, the book on passing somebody on clay is well written, and widely read:
"First pass low, second pass from the popped up volley", by Bjorn Borg. Prologue by Rafael Nadal.

Isn't clay about using angles to open the court more since you can't hit through it? So maybe the approach should spin off the court more and push someone back more than it has to penetrate on a hard court?
