Novak Djokovic will set a record the moment he steps on court for his opening match at the French Open against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in the night session yesterday.
Two days after his 39th birthday, Djokovic will play a men's record 82nd Grand Slam tournament – one more than Roger Federer and Feliciano Lopez.
For all his experience, though – he shares the record of 24 Grand Slam singles titles with Margaret Court – Djokovic comes to Roland Garros with hardly any match preparation.
