Novak Djokovic to Compete at Monte-Carlo Masters Without Andy Murray
Novak Djokovic is set to participate in the 2025 Monte-Carlo Masters, marking his 18th appearance at the prestigious tournament. The Serbian tennis star, who has previously secured two titles at Monte-Carlo, is aiming to capture his 100th career title during this clay-court season.
In preparation for the tournament, Djokovic engaged in a practice session with Spanish sensation Carlos Alcaraz. This joint training highlighted the mutual respect and camaraderie between the two top players as they gear up for the challenges ahead.
Notably absent from Djokovic’s team this week is Andy Murray. When questioned about Murray’s whereabouts, Djokovic humorously admitted, “I have no idea, to be honest.” Instead, Djokovic revealed that his brother would be stepping in as his coach for the Monte-Carlo Masters.
Murray’s absence is attributed to his recovery from a severe ankle injury sustained during the Miami Open in March 2024, which led to his withdrawal from both the Monte-Carlo Masters and the Munich Open last year.
As Djokovic embarks on his Monte-Carlo campaign without Murray by his side, tennis enthusiasts worldwide will be keenly observing how the seasoned champion navigates the tournament with his brother’s support.
