# Tennis: Former Roland Garros winner Jim Courier says Novak Djokovic’s shock withdrawal from next week’s Italian Open should be a huge worry for the 24-time Grand Slam champion’s fans. This means he will head to Roland Garros without winning a match on clay this season. Djokovic has been woefully out of form and was comprehensively beaten in his opening matches at Masters tournaments in Monte Carlo and Madrid this month. The Serb was expected to jumpstart his clay campaign in Rome before returning to Paris but on Tuesday withdrew without providing a reason.
