After losing in the Australian Open semi-finals to Italy's Jannik Sinner, Djokovic was knocked out of Indian Wells at the last-32 stage. He did reach the semi-finals in Monte Carlo at the start of the clay-court swing, but at his next outing at the Italian Open, Djokovic was accidentally hit on the head by a metallic water bottle after his opening win.Djokovic won his opening match in Geneva against Germany's Yannick Hanfmann, who beat Andy Murray in his opener, and defeated Dutchman Tallon Griekspoor.
But he again looked out-of-sorts against Machac and also showed signs of physical discomfort in a one-sided deciding set.
