Novak Djokovic wants Roger Federer record

Novak Djokovic adds a third – and probably final – clay court tournament to his Roland Garros preparations


Novak Djokovic has added the Monte Carlo Masters to his schedule as he looks set to cement his plans for clay court season.

The Monte Carlo Masters is seen as a prestigious and important piece of build-up for the French Open.

It’s a tournament he has done well in before too, with back-to-back titles in 2013 and 2014.

Djokovic will also defend his Madrid Masters title as well as the Italian Open, making it a pretty comprehensive program for the world number one.

Before turning his attention to clay, there is the small matter of the Sunshine Double for Djokovic.

He will play Indian Wells and the Miami Open in March, and it’s something he’s looking forward to.

“I love coming back to play in Miami because it’s home to some of the greatest tennis fans in the world,” Djokovic said.
