Novak Djokovic missed out on raising a seventh trophy in Rome, but the world No. 1 says he has his sights firmly set on Roland Garro’s glory.

The defending champion—who will drop to No. 2 next week—fell in the Internazionali BNL d’Italia quarterfinals to Holger Rune, 6-2, 4-6, 6-2. Djokovic had won his nine previous quarterfinals in Rome but saw his streak come to an end after an error-prone performance in rainy conditions.

While the defeat dealt another blow to Djokovic’s Grand Slam preparations after early exits in Monte Carlo and Banja Luka, it’s too soon to sound the alarm. Djokovic told the press in Rome that despite the lack of matches—he missed out on Indian Wells and Miami and withdrew from Madrid—he’s confident that his best tennis is within reach.

“I know I can always play better,” Djokovic said. “I’m looking forward to working on various aspects of my game, of my body, and hopefully getting myself in 100% shape. That’s the goal.

After Rome’s exit, Novak Djokovic shifts focus and said “I like my chances in…

“I always like my chances in Grand Slams against anybody on any surface, best-of-five. Let’s see how it goes.”

Djokovic held a 13-3 record in the Rome quarterfinals, but on Wednesday he found himself affected by the slower and rainier conditions—which Djokovic said favored Rune. The match was interrupted at the end of the second set by a rain delay, and it was drizzling throughout.

As a result, Djokovic struggled to hit his opponent. He played more aggressively to overcompensate and racked up 35 unforced errors to Rune’s 15 by the end of the match and was broken five times.

“I think this is probably the coldest and wettest tournament I’ve ever played here in Rome,” Djokovic said. “I don’t recall so many days in a row raining.

“Obviously in these kinds of conditions, it’s very difficult to get the ball past him. He’s very, very fast, very quick. Great anticipation. Just a very talented, dynamic player, all-around player.”

“Next to [Rafa] of course, Alcaraz, Rune, and these guys are right there in contention… Some of the biggest favorites to win the title.”

Rafael Nadal will extend his recovery process for another five months, as confirmed by his team this Saturday. The Spanish tennis player, who today celebrates 37 years, underwent surgery last night at the Teknon clinic in Barcelona for the injury he suffered in the iliopsoas on January 18, while competing in the second round of the Australian Open. The operation, “by arthroscopic approach”, was performed by doctors Marc Philippon, Jaume Vilaró and Angel Ruiz-Cotorro. It should be remembered that on May 18, the athlete announced that he would not compete at Roland Garros and his intention to retire next season .

According to the information provided, “the surgery has been positive” and “consisted of cleaning the fibrotic and degenerated areas of the tendon both proximally and distally, as well as suturing it to adequately reinforce it.” But the repair did not stop there. “In a second time”, the note continues, “an old lesion in the labrum of his left hip [of the coxal bone cavity of the joint, which acts as a seal or rubber gasket that helps to hold the hip properly] was also regularized.” head of the femur], which will surely help the best evolution of the tendon”.

The 22-time champion has only played four games this season – three losses and one win – and last set foot on the track in the second round in Melbourne, when he was injured and lost against the American Mackenzie McDonald. The initially estimated recovery time was “six to eight weeks”, but the return was postponed and prevented him from reappearing on the clay tour, as he intended. Nadal gradually recovered his activity, but he did not finish finding guarantees and finally decided not to compete in Paris.
