During the comment session on TNT Sports, Wilander said that Djokovic will have some problems on the ground, where the physical resource is more abundant than the hard yard and the grass. As expected, Djokovic's land season will start at the Monte-Carlo Masters event on April 6. In recent years, Nole has not been successful in this tournament. "He is probably the best player on the surface of the short yard. But this is the pitch that many opponents can fight fairly with Djokovic. They will create a balance, persistent and physical erosion of Djokovic ".

Wilander said that Djokovic is not much different when playing in a hard yard and an earthen ground. Meanwhile, Rafael Nadal is like a completely different person on the red dust yard because of the typical polishing style. "The first three weeks will only be Djokovic's acquaintance time," Wilander added. "It took Rome Masters to be able to reach the peak of style". However, he lost to Casper Ruud in the semi -final event in Monaco. Djokovic then lost to the third round of Rome Masters, lost to the semi -finals of the Geneva expanded and retreated before the quarterfinals of Roland Garros due to injury.

Except for the Olympic gold medal in Paris last summer, Djokovic did not win any ATP tour title from November 2023. "The land is where you have to play as much as possible, to adjust and adapt," Wilander advised juniors. "Regardless of age, Djokovic has to get used to the rhythm of this yard to have the opportunity at Roland Garros ".

Wilander also thinks that training is no longer important to Djokovic, instead of real battles. "You cannot train the brain to deal with pressure in the first 10 or 20 minutes of the match, or at decisive scores," the former Swedish player analyzed. "That stress can only occur when you are playing. Last season, Djokovic is a lot of rest and it is not effective. This season, he is doing the opposite . Serbia is getting older and slower.
