Novak Djokovic took last-minute steps on Friday to bring some order to his disheveled clay-court game by making a late entry into the pre-French Open Geneva 250.
The ATP event in Switzerland is a final chance for matches before the May 25 start of the Paris Grand Slam at Roland Garros.
The 38-year-old with 24 titles at the majors played the tune-up tournament in the lakeside city a year ago, reaching the semi-finals before exiting in the quarters at the Grand Slam.
No. 6 Djokovic will play as a wild card in a field including fellow top 10 competitors Taylor Fritz and Casper Ruud.
Djokovic desperately needs clay court time after losing the only two matches he has played this season on the surface in Monte Carlo and Madrid. he then pulled out of the ongoing Rome Masters.
