Djokovic is participating in the Monte Carlo Masters alongside his younger brother, Marko. According to AFP, the tennis star revealed that his brother’s presence would provide him with "emotional support" ahead of the competition. The Serbian tennis king, who is currently chasing his 100th ATP Tour singles title, will temporarily be without his coach's support during this week's clay-court event. Djokovic clarified, "Collaborating with my coach was not part of this week's plan," as the coach is expected to return to the team for the Madrid Open in late April. He expressed, "I'm glad Marko is joining the trip; this kind of familial support is irreplaceable." The player who has won 24 Grand Slam titles mentioned, "It's always a precious time to be with my brother during the tour."

Currently ranked 5th in the world, Djokovic reached the finals for the first time this season but lost to Czech newcomer at the Miami Masters. He has not won any ATP singles titles since the 2023 ATP year-end finals, and his coveted Olympic gold medal does not count towards ATP titles. During the Miami finals, Djokovic struggled with eyelid swelling and stated that before transitioning to Monte Carlo, he was actually experiencing a "mild viral infection." "The symptoms started in the Miami semifinals and did affect me in the finals, but they have gradually improved now," he added. "I'm happy to have regained my joy and competitive state on the court in Miami; the current goal is to accumulate practical experience and conserve energy for the important events in the second half of the clay season."
