DJOKOVIC: "NADAL IS THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE ON CLAY"

ATP - Monte Carlo Rolex Masters - 12BET odds 4/16 4:30PM GMT+8

 

Nadal’s triumph last year in Monte-Carlo, however, came in Djokovic’s absence. In the two ATP World Tour Masters 1000 clay-court tournaments to follow - the Mutua Madrid Open and Internazionali BNL d’Italia - the Spaniard surrendered his titles with straight-sets losses to Djokovic in both finals.

Those two victories helped Djokovic finish ahead of Nadal in the 2011 clay-court FedEx ATP Reliability Index, with a 17-1 record (.944) to Nadal’s 28-2 mark (.933), and gave him an extra lift coming into this season’s campaign.

Djokovic will be looking to become the first player to win back-to-back ATP World Tour Masters 1000 titles in Miami and Monte-Carlo, and stated that he was well-prepared for the transition from hard to clay courts.

Djokovic also joked about one added advantage that he and Andy Murray would have this week, commenting on the British No. 1’s recent buzz cut. “I tried to copy him. I didn’t go as short. Well, one thing is for sure: we’ll both be faster on the court with less hair.”
