Djokovic - Official Facebook statement Re Monte Carlo withdraw

It is a sad day for me,guys. Had to pull out from Monte Carlo tournament.
Monaco is place where i live and spend most of my time practicing. Each year i am looking forward to this event,because it's one of my favorites. This time i had to prioritize my health and rest of the season,for which i have high ambitions. I believe i will be recovered and ready for upcoming events on clay courts. I apologize to all my fans who bought tickets to come and watch me play here, hope this will not discourage you from following me in the future. I live here so you may see me around - a little hint for you - I spend most of my time at "La Spiaggia" restaurant (on the beach) during the lunch time ;) See you!!!

Danas sam odlucio da se povucem sa turnira u Monte Karlu. Nije mi bilo lako da donesem ovu odluku,jer u Monaku zivim vec 5 godina i koristim ga kao svoju trening bazu. Turnir u Monaku mi je jedan od omiljenih i svake godine se radujem svom nastupu. Ovoga puta sam morao da prioritizujem svoje zdravlje i nastavak sezone u kojoj imam velike ambicije. Verujem da cu se oporaviti i spremiti za predstojece turnire na sljaci. Izvinjavam se svim mojim fanovima koji su kupili karte da bi me gledali. S obzirom da zivim ovde, sigurno cemo se sresti ili u klubu ili na plazi :) Otkricu vam "tajnu" - provodim najvise vremena na plazi u restoranu "La Spiaggia". Vidimo se! ;)

Monte Carlo - Top 10 Tennis Players Expected

Courtesy: Rivieratimes


A magical venue poised between the Mediterranean Sea and the mountains prepares to welcome the world’s top ten players for the 105th Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters from 9th to 17th of April 2011. Last year, world number one Rafael Nadal delighted organisers by winning the tournament for the sixth time, the only player in the history of the event to do so and in such convincing style.

Whether Nadal can make it a seventh will depend if his injury god is smiling down on him or not. A few weeks ago in Melbourne he ceded defeat in the quarter finals of the Australian Open to David Ferrer, seventh seed, 6-4, 6-2, 6-3, plagued by a hamstring injury and lost his chance of holding four grand slam titles at once.

Yet only a year before he retired hurt with knee problems against Britain’s Andy Murray, again in Melbourne, and then went on to win three Grand Slams, three Masters 1000 tournaments and regained his World No 1 ranking.

One of those ATP World Tour Masters 1000s was the Monte-Carlo which joined this nine-tournament circuit in 2009. At stake are 1000 points for the winner and prize money totaling 2,227,500 euros.

At a press conference in the Monte Carlo Country Club which hosts the event, tournament director Zeljko Franulovic said they were counting on the world's top ten signing up and that Nadal, Novak Djokovic, David Ferrer and French favourite Jo-Wilfried Tsonga were already on the list. The closing date for registrations is 14th of March 2011 when the names of the 45 players accepted will be published; to this list will be added seven players who make it through a series of qualifying matches between 28 players on the first weekend, plus four wild cards (last year a very lack lustre Andy Murray came in at the last minute and was out in straight sets).

From Sunday the 12th when the tournament proper begins, 56 players will be battling it out in the singles to win the Coupe-Challenge offered by the Sovereign Prince of Monaco, while 24 doubles teams will be vying for the City of Monaco’s Trophy.

New for 2011 is an exhibition match on the Sunday between the current number one woman, the Dane Caroline Wozniacki and the Italian Francesca Schiavone, winner of the Paris Roland Garros Grand Slam in 2010.

Programme highlights

Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th: qualifying rounds plus start of the men’s singles and doubles matches on Sunday starting at 11am – on week days play starts at 10.30am.
