‘I Am Ready Enough To Compete,’ Says Djokovic Ahead Of Italian Open Campaign
The six-time Rome champion arrives in the Italian capital after an extended absence caused by injury issues that disrupted his schedule over the past several weeks. Although the Serbian admitted he is still working his way back to full sharpness, he is eager to resume competition at one of the most successful venues of his career.
“I am ready enough to compete. I am not the happiest with the level of tennis or the movement or the physical state, but it is getting there. I wanted to be back on the Tour earlier, but couldn’t. I was injured, so I had to deal with it progressively. I am here in Rome. I always love coming back, have had great success, so I am excited to be back in competition,” Djokovic told ATP Media before his opening match in Rome.
