Novak Djokovic is participating in the Monte Carlo Masters, accompanied by his brother Marko, expressing that the emotional support from his brother is particularly important to him. He is pursuing his 100th ATP singles title and will temporarily not be working with his coach Murray this week; Murray will return at the Madrid Open at the end of April. Djokovic shared the challenges he faced at the Miami Masters recently, as a mild viral infection affected his performance, but he feels that he has improved now. He has a bye in the first round and will face old rival Wawrinka or Chilean player Tabilo, as this tournament features numerous top competitors.

Djokovic participated in the Monte Carlo Masters with his younger brother, Marko. Before the event started, the tennis star stated that Marko's presence provided him with "special emotional support." Currently chasing his 100th ATP Tour singles title, the Serbian king of tennis will not have a coach by his side for this week's clay event. Djokovic clarified, "The collaboration with Murray was not planned for this week," and it is reported that the British coach is expected to return to the team during the Madrid Open in late April. "I am very glad that Marko could join this trip; this kind of family support is irreplaceable," he expressed. "It is very precious to spend time with my brother during the tour." Djokovic, currently ranked 5th in the world, reached the finals for the first time this season but lost to a Czech newcomer at the Miami Masters. Since the 2023 ATP Year-End Finals, the 37-year-old veteran has not won any ATP singles titles, and the Olympic gold medal he yearns for does not count towards the ATP championship system. During the Miami finals, Djokovic suffered from swollen eyelids, revealing that before transitioning to Monte Carlo, he was actually in a "mild viral infection" state. "The symptoms started during the Miami semifinals; they did affect me during the finals, but now I am gradually getting better." He added, "I am very happy to have regained the joy of playing and competitive form in Miami; now my goal is to accumulate practical experience and conserve energy for the important events in the second half of the clay season." As the 3rd seed in this tournament, Djokovic received a bye in the first round and will next face an old rival or a Chilean player. The event has gathered many outstanding players and will battle in Monaco from April 6 to 13.
