World No 1 Novak Djokovic said he does not consider himself a favourite ahead of his title defence at the French Open, which begins with a first-round match against local hope Pierre-Hugues Herbert on Sunday.
Djokovic's barren run ahead of Roland Garros continued as the 24-time Grand Slam winner was beaten 6-4 0-6 6-1 by Tomas Machac in the Geneva Open semifinals on Friday, weeks after losing heavily to Alejandro Tabilo in Rome.
"Of course I am worried... I haven't been playing good at all this year," Djokovic told reporters after being beaten by Machac on Friday.
