Novak Djokovic injury update: Serb clears the air about multiple ailments after Monte-Carlo shock exit

Novak Djokovic Breaks Silence on Injuries After Monte Carlo Masters Exit

Novak Djokovic made headlines once again—this time not for his on-court brilliance but for a surprising early exit at the Monte Carlo Masters. Following his shock defeat, speculation began to swirl about potential injuries after cameras caught the Serbian grabbing his arm during a practice session.

In a post-match interview, Djokovic quickly shut down injury rumors with a smile:
“It’s all good. Just a minor, minor thing. There’s no injury,” he said, laughing off the concerns.

Still, fans couldn’t help but notice the frustration in his voice. When the interviewer gently teased, “It wasn’t your best day in the office, was it?”, Djokovic responded candidly:

“Best day? (smiling) More like the worst day. I was hoping it wouldn’t happen, but there was a high probability I’d play this way. Just horrible. Horrible feeling to play like this. I’m sorry for the people who had to watch it. I don’t know—I have it, and I don’t have it. Honestly, I don’t really care.”

Despite the tough day on court, the 24-time Grand Slam champion is already turning his attention to the bigger goal ahead: the French Open. When asked about his clay court objectives, Djokovic kept it short and sweet:

“Roland Garros. That’s it,” he said with a smile.

🎾 What’s Next for Djokovic?

Although Monte Carlo didn’t go as planned, Djokovic has made it clear that he’s not deterred. With Roland Garros in his sights, expect the Serbian legend to double down on preparation as the clay season heats up.

Whether it was a one-off bad day or a sign of something deeper, time will tell. But if history has taught us anything, it’s to never count Djokovic out—especially on the big stage.
