Parisian courts once again witnessed scenes reserved for the greatest champions. Novak Djokovic arrived at Roland Garros 2026, immediately drawing huge attention and receiving ovations at his first training session.

Though he arrives in Paris in an unusual rhythm without ideal preparation, the Serbian tennis player continues to draw immense public interest. This season, Djokovic has not recorded a single victory, and the only tournament he played, the Masters in Rome, ended with an early defeat at the hands of Croatian Din Pržmić.

Nonetheless, the atmosphere around him in Paris shows that his status in the world of tennis remains unassailable. On the central court, a large number of fans gathered to watch his first training session, and Djokovic took time after practice to greet and take photos with the crowd.

Three-time champion of Roland Garros, Djokovic is still considered one of the most dangerous players on the grand slam courts, particularly in matches that go to three sets, where experience and mental strength often make the difference.

The absence of Carlos Alcaraz adds an extra layer of intrigue before the tournament, potentially opening up more space for a big trophy run. However, the main favorite remains Jannik Sinner, with much depending on the draw expected on Thursday.
