Djokovic Teams with Brother Marko for Monte Carlo

Novak Djokovic has brought his brother Marko onto his coaching team for the Monte Carlo Masters, replacing Andy Murray, who was never slated to attend this particular tournament. Marko, a former player with a peak ranking of 574, joins Djokovic as he aims for his 100th ATP title, providing emotional support and familiarity. Djokovic, ranked No. 5, has not won a title since the 2023 ATP Finals but remains optimistic about the upcoming clay season. The Serb has a first-round bye and is set to face either Stan Wawrinka or Alejandro Tabilo. Murray is expected to rejoin Djokovic for the Madrid Open, as their partnership does not include Monte Carlo.
