Novak Djokovic did not have a comfortable debut at the Monte Carlo Masters 1000. The Serb suffered more than expected defeat Ivan Gakhov 7-6(5) and 6-2 in a hard-fought match that lasted over an hour and three quarters in which he had to shoot ex officio against a loose undefeated opponent.
After the duel, the Russian did not miss the opportunity to show his admiration for the world number 1. “You are the best. I hope to play more matches with youhe said online to a blushing Djokovic who accepted the compliment with a broad smile.

$(“.twitter-tweet”).closest( “span” ).append(x);
});
So ‘Nole’ advances to the round of 16, where he will await the winner of the Italian duel between Lorenzo Musetti and Luca Nardi. In his first match of the season on clay, the Serbian found rhythm and adaptation to try to continue to improve in the level of play in the coming days in his attempt to dominate the Principality.
