Djokovic cherishes the time spent with his brother and mentioned that his current goal is to gain experience for the latter half of the clay season. He was affected by a mild viral infection during the Miami Masters, but he is now gradually recovering. As the third seed, he will face either his old rival Stan Wawrinka or Chilean player Alejandro Tabilo in the second round. This year's tournament will take place from April 6 to 13 in Monaco, attracting several strong competitors.
Novak Djokovic attended the Monte Carlo Masters with his younger brother, Marko. As the season approached, the tennis star expressed that Marko's presence would provide him with "special emotional support." The Serbian tennis king is fiercely pursuing his 100th ATP Tour singles title, and this week, he will temporarily part ways with coach Murray for the clay court event. Djokovic clarified, "Collaboration with Murray is not in the plans for this week," with the British coach expected to return to the team after the Madrid Open later in April. "I'm very fortunate to have Marko with me; this kind of brotherly support is irreplaceable," said Djokovic, who has 24 Grand Slam titles. "Having time with my brother during the tour is always very precious." Currently ranked 5th in the world, Djokovic has reached the finals for the first time this season but lost to Czech rising star in the Miami Masters. Since the 2023 ATP year-end finals, the 37-year-old veteran has not won any ATP singles titles, and his desired Olympic gold medal does not count among them. During the Miami finals, Djokovic was troubled by swollen eyelids and revealed that he was actually suffering from a "slight viral infection" before heading to Monte Carlo. He mentioned, "The symptoms started from the Miami semifinals, and I was indeed affected during the finals, but they have gradually eased now." He added, "I'm glad to have regained my joy and competitive form on the court in Miami, and my current goal is to gain practical experience and conserve energy for important events in the latter half of the clay season." As the third seed of the tournament, Djokovic has a bye in the first round and will face an old rival or a player from Chile in the second round. This year's event has attracted many top players, and the competition will take place from April 6 to 13 in Monaco.
