Even with the eye affected by that sty that came out during the Miami final, Novak Djokovic attended the press on the Media Day of the ATP Masters 1000 Montecarlo 2025. The Serbian talked about his ambitions, whether he believes that the elusive 100th title will come someday, a title that slipped through his fingers just a few days ago in the American event, and also about the progress of his collaboration with Andy Murray, who will be back in Djokovic's box in Madrid.

About the 100th title

"There is no doubt that it has become more difficult throughout my career, but my performance in Miami, when I play that way, gives me more inspiration to move forward. I feel very good on the court when I hit the ball well and win matches. Obviously, when you start losing early, you have more questions and inner voices that make you doubt whether you should continue," Nole confessed in statements to ATP.

I'm glad I found that joy on the court in Miami and that level of performance, so let's see if I can transfer it to the clay. This is a different surface, and I haven't had much time to get used to this tournament, so my expectations are not so high."

The lost final in Miami

"I left with a little bit of bitterness from losing the tournament, but it was a high-quality match from my side. I served very well, played well. I had a bit of bad luck in the final, two tiebreaks, but he was better, that's it. It gives me a lot of encouragement and positivity to reflect on my game and how I played in Miami."

Murray won't be in Djokovic's box in Montecarlo

"Working with Andy this week was never part of the agreement. I thought about who I wanted to come, aside from my fitness coach, and my physio, and my brother Marko was able to join me, so that helps me emotionally, sharing some time with my brother and spending some time with him on the road."

Possible debut against Wawrinka

"People talk about my age, but what about him? He's still strong. I love Stan, he is a great guy and a champion who has been underestimated with everything he has achieved. Three Grand Slams, Davis Cup, Olympic gold, he is a sports legend and really inspiring."
