However, Djokovic’s top-ranking position is under threat, with rising star Jannik Sinner making significant strides. Djokovic’s lackluster performances in previous tournaments in 2024, including a semifinal exit at the Australian Open and an early-round defeat at Indian Wells, highlight the importance of a successful clay season for him.
