Novak Djokovic says he does not want to reveal the reasons behind his below-par performances this season as he starts his French Open title defence.
Novak Djokovic says he does not want to "open Pandora’s box" by revealing the reasons behind his below-par form this year.
Asked if he could put a finger on why he has been below his lofty standards, Serbia's Djokovic said: "It's various things that were happening in the last couple of months, but I don't want to get into it. I hope you understand that."Just really try to focus myself on what needs to be done. What has happened, happened, and it's in the past.
Djokovic was accidentally hit on the head by a metallic water bottle after his opening win and felt hampered by the after-effects in a shock loss to Alejandro Tabilo two days later.
