Paris: Novak Djokovic said on Sunday he has "low expectations and high hopes" for the French Open after a turbulent season so far in which he has failed to win an ATP title.
The world number one will kick off his bid for a fourth Roland Garros crown and record-breaking 25th Grand Slam triumph when he takes on French wildcard Pierre-Hugues Herbert on Tuesday.
His win-loss record this year is a disappointing 14-6 and he is yet to reach a final.
Djokovic arrives in Paris off the back of a shock semi-final loss at a low-key warm-up event in Geneva to Czech Tomas Machac, after which he said he was "worried" about his form.
"Low expectations and high hopes," Djokovic told reporters when asked how he felt heading into the tournament.
