Novak Djokovic has pulled out of the Italian Open in the midst of a three-match losing streak. The withdrawal sheds doubt on how well he’ll be able to play at the upcoming French Open as he continues to seek a record 25th Grand Slam trophy and 100th tournament title overall.

Novak Djokovic lost to Matteo Arnaldi in the opening round of the Madrid Open on Saturday, extending the 24-time Grand Slam winner's struggles on clay ahead of Roland Garros.

Matteo Arnaldi notched his career-best victory in the second round of the Madrid Masters! The young Italian faced his idol Novak Djokovic and secured a rock-solid 6-3, 6-4 victory in an hour and 41 minutes. Thus, Matteo fulfilled his dream.
