Novak Djokovic has taken a wildcard to play the upcoming Geneva Open as he looks to find form and match fitness before the French Open.
Djokovic, who is aiming for a standalone record 25th Grand Slam title in Paris, pulled out of this week's Italian Open.
The 37-year-old Serb has lost his past three matches after early exits at clay-court events in Monte Carlo and Madrid last month.
Djokovic did not give a reason for missing the ATP Masters tournament in Rome - where he is a six-time champion.
Now the three-time French Open champion has decided to return to Geneva in an effort to spend more time on the red dirt before heading to Roland Garros.
It has been a patchy season by Djokovic's high standards.
A positive start saw him reach the Australian Open semi-finals, although he had to pull out injured against Germany's Alexander Zverev after losing the first set.
The world number six, who turns 38 this month, lost three matches in a row on his comeback before rediscovering form at the Miami Open.
