Tennis: Djokovic faces tough start in quest for 25 as Roland Garros begins

# Tennis:  Novak Djokovic will today begin his latest attempt to make history. Winning the French Open for a fourth time would bring the 39-year-old that elusive 25th major title. Djokovic’s last Grand Slam title came at the US Open in 2023, with Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz winning every Grand Slam since then. Djokovic will face a tough match tonight against France’s Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard. The former world number 29 has one of the biggest serves on the tour and will enjoy raucous home backing on Roland Garros’ centre court.
