Novak Djokovic Returns at Monte Carlo Masters to Disrupt 2024 Dominance: Watch Live on Sky Sports Tennis
Novak Djokovic returns at the Monte Carlo Masters after missing the Miami Open, looking to disrupt the 2024 dominance of Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, who has withdrawn from the event; watch over 80 tournaments a year, including the US Open, live on Sky Sports Tennis
After missing the Miami Open, world No 1 Novak Djokovic is back in action at the Monte Carlo Masters, looking to shake up the dominance of young stars Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. Sinner, who recently won the Miami Open, and Alcaraz, who claimed victory at Indian Wells, have been making waves in the tennis world, but Djokovic’s return could put a stop to their reign.
Djokovic, a record 24-time Grand Slam winner, suffered a surprising early exit at Indian Wells but is determined to make a strong comeback at Monte Carlo. The Serbian star will be looking to win the title for the third time, with his last victory at the tournament coming in 2015.
With defending champion Andrey Rublev and exciting matches lined up for Wednesday, including Sinner facing Sebastian Korda and a clash between Gael Monfils and Daniil Medvedev, tennis fans are in for a treat. However, the absence of British players in the singles draw has been a disappointment, with Cameron Norrie, Dan Evans, and Jack Draper all bowing out in the early rounds.
Unfortunately, Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz have also withdrawn from the tournament due to injuries, adding to the drama of the event. Nadal, a former Monte Carlo champion, continues to struggle with his fitness, while Alcaraz cited a right forearm injury for his withdrawal.
Tennis fans can catch all the action from the Monte Carlo Masters live on Sky Sports Tennis, with coverage of over 80 tournaments a year, including the US Open. With Djokovic’s return and the young guns looking to make their mark, the tournament promises to be an exciting showdown on the clay courts.
