In pain, pessimistic, and very self-critical: that's how Novak appeared, not wanting to talk, at a press conference where he showed tremendous anger with his performance in Monte Carlo.
Novak Djokovic
We review the historical feat at stake for Djokovic in this edition of the Monte Carlo tournament, a very special place in his career.
The schedules for the Wednesday, April 9th matches of the Masters 1000 in Monte Carlo are now known. On this day, both Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic will appear on the central court of the Monegasque complex. The Spanish player will make his debut against Fran Cerúndolo in the second match on the central court, around 12:30 or 13:00 local time. They will have to wait for the first match between Daniel Altmaier and Richard Gasquet, which starts at 11:00. Once the match of the player from Murcia ends, it will be the Serbian's turn, who will face Alejandro Tabilo around 15:30 in the afternoon. Tomorrow, Roberto Bautista will play against Casper Ruud in the third match on the second court. Meanwhile, Pedro Martínez will play against Nuno Borges in the first match at 11:00 on the fourth court.

The Chilean secured his second victory against the Serbian in a match where he dominated from start to finish against a Nole who appeared quite uncomfortable in his first match on clay.
The Serbian will seek to make his debut on clay against a Tabilo in search of sensations. A great match to open the curtain of this tour, with the question of how Novak will be due to his eye infection.
Novak Djokovic does not want to talk today about the word 'retirement'. The Serbian feels he has the tennis and hunger to continue competing, and his level shown in the Miami Open confirms it. "I still feel like there is fuel left in the tank. I believe that, as I have shown in Australia and Miami, I can still play at a high level. And that continues to give me the satisfaction of being on the court and competing. I know there is a group of people who think I should leave tennis at the top, which I understand. Many people thought I should quit after last year's gold medal. But let's see what the future holds. Of course, I would love to win. If they tell me that this year I will win my 100th title in any of the Slams, I sign up immediately. But it's a big mountain to climb, so we have to be a little more humble and hope for the best," confesses the Balkan before his debut at the Masters 1000 in Monte Carlo.

Many fans wonder about the involvement of the world's best tennis players in the evolution of the circuit and if they pay attention to the matches that take place. Novak Djokovic was asked about this at the ATP Masters 1000 Monte Carlo 2025 and said that he closely follows everything that happens on the circuit and that his tennis viewings are specific. "Unless it's a big match or a Serbian player is involved, I usually watch match highlights because I'm very busy with various matters, like family," he commented.
Q: Do you watch tennis?

Great anticipation to see the start of the tour for Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic at the Masters 1000 Montecarlo 2025. Both players arrive hungry for titles and will seek their best performance on the first clay court Masters of the tour. While for Alcaraz it will only be his second appearance after his brief one in the 2022 edition when he fell in the second round against Sebastian Korda, for the Serbian, it will be the sixteenth time competing at the Montecarlo Country Club. To prepare ideally, the two top 10 members have taken part in a joint training session before their second-round debut.
Picturesque setting for a blockbuster practice 🤩

What does Novak Djokovic think about that famous letter from the top 20 WTA and ATP players demanding better conditions at the Grand Slams? The Serbian addressed all doubts about this matter in the press conference before the ATP Masters 1000 Monte Carlo 2025: "The general feeling is that players believe we should try to approach the prize money of ATP tournaments. It seems fair, if you think about it rationally. It's not going to happen overnight, if it does happen, it needs to be seen in the long term."
Let's hope that the Grand Slam tournaments will respond positively and be willing to meet with the players to discuss things. It's not just about revenue sharing; players also believe that the Grand Slams should discuss decisions that affect us. We should be part of the process. Even if it's not always possible for the top players to be present at all meetings, we can organize Zoom or other types of meetings in any case."
