Novak Djokovic is leaving nothing to chance in his quest for a first French Open crown, playing to the crowd during a practice session Saturday. PARIS—Novak Djokovic will be celebrating his 29th birthday when the French Open starts on Sunday. Goran Ivanisevic holds the Open era Grand Slam record of needing 14 attempts before winning Wimbledon in 2001. “Of course I anticipate myself, as everybody else (does), to try to get my hands on this title this year,” Djokovic said. Second-second Andy Murray could pose a serious threat, having beaten Djokovic in the Italian Open final last weekend.
