# Tennis: Time is Novak Djokovic’s biggest opponent when he arrives at this year’s French Open, starting on Sunday. The record 24-time Grand Slam champion turns 39 on Friday. The Serbian is no longer the immovable presence he once was, with his famed durability now in question as younger, physically-explosive rivals dominate. Djokovic’s scheduling is now more selective and his approach more pragmatic. He says he would have liked more time on clay before coming to Paris. The main draw for the men’s singles takes place tomorrow.
