World number five Djokovic reached his first final of the season at the Miami Open, losing to Czech teenager Jakub Mensik.<\/a><\/p>\n

The 37-year-old has not won a singles title on the tour since the season-ending ATP Tour Finals in 2023, with his much-wanted Olympic gold not counting as an ATP title.<\/p>\n

Djokovic was bothered by a swollen eye during the final against Mensik and said he had a “little bit of a viral infection” in the lead-up to Monte Carlo.<\/p>\n

“It started on semi-finals day in Miami and I did struggle with it in the finals but it’s calming down,” Djokovic said.<\/p>\n

“I’m glad that I found in Miami that joy on the court and, I feel, the performance level.<\/p>\n

“It’s more about trying to get matches and as many as possible, and obviously to try to peak towards the end of the clay season.”<\/p>\n

Third-seed Djokovic has a first-round bye and will open against either fellow veteran Stan Wawrinka or Chile’s Alejandro Tabilo.<\/p>\n

Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz and Britain’s Jack Draper are all competing in Monte Carlo, which takes place from 6-13 April.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
