Novak Djokovic is eager to be back in competition and challenge Rafael Nadal, Jannik Sinner, and Carlos Alcaraz in his upcoming tournament in Monte Carlo. The Serbian sensation could not compete in Indian Wells and Miami because he is not vaccinated against the coronavirus. Therefore, after a long break, Novak is training on clay to have yet another fantastic season on the dirt.
