After three tournament appearances and only five matches played, 2022 has involved an incredibly limited workload compared to Novak Djokovic 's usual standards.
The 34-year-old's ejection from the Australian Open draw coupled with several disappointing results have hardly served as the ideal preparation ahead of the French Open. Taking all that adversity into account, player-turned-pundit Alex Corretja has said Djokovic requires a "big effort" to contest in Paris.
The world No. 1 made his competitive 2022 debut at the Dubai Tennis Championships in February when he suffered a quarter-final defeat to Jiri Vesely. His clay season debut ended in tatters, meanwhile, after a second-round defeat to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina at the Monte-Carlo Masters.
