Despite less-than-ideal five months of the 2024 season, the 24-time Grand Slam champion has kept high hopes for the title defense at the 2024 French Open. He said in a press conference that if he does not win the title he would not be satisfied.

"If I don't win the title, I will not be satisfied. If I play tennis at my age is to continue making history," he said in the press conference.

Marion Bartoli sat down with Prime Video and gave an insight as to why Novak Djokovic has not played as much as he usually plays. The Serb is yet to win a title five months into the year.

Bartoli, the Wimbledon 2013 champion, delved into the oscillating motivation levels of the Serb. She said that some days, he has high motivation to play tennis while other days he wants to be with family and lead a normal life.

"I was lucky enough to have a discussion with one of his staff members before the tournament started. In fact, the biggest problem they have to deal with Novak at the moment is that there are days when he wakes up with his motivation intact, and there are days when, we can understand him, he wants to be with his wife, his children, to take them to school, to lead a normal life, to be at the beach, to enjoy and to tell himself that he has accomplished everything. He oscillates between these two emotions and that's why sometimes he's completely absent from the court," Bartoli said.

Novak Djokovic will face the winner of Lorenzo Musetti vs Gael Monfils in the third round at the French Open.
