Novak Djokovic seeks third win in Monte Carlo
The Serb, who has won twice after missing the U.S. tour due to missed vaccinations, said he made the most of the time: "I've trained more on clay, which is positive if you think about this tour. I haven't had much success in the last two seasons in Monte Carlo. I haven't done great tennis here, so hopefully this year I can start the clay tour better than in previous years."
On the other hand about the tournament he explained the following: "It's a club I know very well. Some top players in Monaco and use this club as a training base. The club transforms incredibly during the week of the tournament, but it's a great feeling to sleep in your bed. The atmosphere is incredible, with how intimate and small the club is. There is hustle and bustle and it's great. People are thrilled to watch tennis and this is the tournament that has been successful throughout the history of our sport."
