But despite a resilient display, Davidovich Fokina held his nerve and won another match, making it 3-0.

Acclaimed tennis coach Gabriel Jaramillo has hailed the Big 3 of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic for their stellar accomplishments and longevity.

"Then there is Federer, who makes everything easy and plays more beautiful than anyone, but I would say that Novak is the most complete of the three." "It's difficult [...] Being younger, because of his style of play and because of the way he moves on the court, I would say that Djokovic can go further," said Jaramillo.

When Neymar and Marco Verratti met Novak Djokovic, it wasn't long before a football -- or more accurately, an oversized tennis ball -- appeared.

It's perhaps harsh to critique the football juggling skills of a 20-time Grand Slam tennis champion but he acquitted himself well. A round of keepy-uppies was attempted despite Neymar opting to wear a pair of clunky hiking boots for the occasion. Djokovic is preparing to make his return to the circuit having only played three competitive matches so far this year.

NOVAK DJOKOVIC crashed out to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in what was his first match since February 24.

It was the 22-year-old's turn to save a break point before he managed to secure a double-break lead over the top seed at 4-1. The world No 46 then hit three back-to-back double faults to get broken and allow Djokovic to serve for the set at 5-4 but the breaks continued, with the Spaniard then getting back on serve at 5-5. The second set was something of a rollercoaster, with the world No 46's form initially continuing when he came from 30-40 down to break for a 2-0 lead and was then forced to fend off five break points in a 14-minute, eight-deuce game, eventually holding for 3-0.

MONTE-CARLO - Novak Djokovic, battu au deuxième tour par Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, a manqué sa rentrée sur terre battue.

Son bilan depuis ? 14 matches, 7 victoires, 7 défaites. Habitué à démarrer laborieusement ses campagnes printanières sur terre battue, "Nole" a dû composer en prime cette semaine avec le contexte très particulier pour lui de cette saison en pointillés. Il n'y a toutefois pas le feu. Passé à deux reprises à deux points de la victoire (à 6-5 puis dans le jeu décisif), il n'a pas su achever la bête. Son grand mérite aura été de se relever de ça et de ne pas plonger. Il a manqué un peu (voire beaucoup) de tout à Djokovic mardi à Monte-Carlo. A commencer par les fondations de son jeu. Il a aussi semblé emprunté dans ses déplacements. Bref, une copie où on ne trouvera pas grand-chose à sauver pour le double vainqueur de Roland-Garros, en dehors d'une chose : sa combativité. Il a tenté, autant qu'il le pouvait et c'est bien cet orgueil qui l'a empêché de subir une défaite beaucoup plus lourde, pour aller chercher la deuxième manche au jeu décisif, au terme d'une formidable balle de set. A l'échange, on ne l'a jamais senti à l'aise. Beaucoup de fautes. Il a servi à vingt reprises et concédé pas moins de neuf breaks.

At the Monte Carlo Masters, only the second tournament that the top-ranked Djokovic has played in five months, an unseeded 22-year-old handed him an upset.

He spent time in detention as his appeal was adjudicated and was deported on the eve of the Australian Open. After also missing the American tournaments in Indian Wells, Calif., and Miami, he has played just four singles matches in 2022. Ivanisevic was with Djokovic in January in Australia, where he arrived to defend his Australian Open title only to have his visa revoked because of his vaccination status. Eyes wide, Djokovic put a finger to his ear and nodded his head confidently as he stared at the crowd before howling with relief. But Djokovic’s game and attitude were close to unrecognizable down the stretch as he raced through his service games and missed shot after shot. He often plays like a goalkeeper: flinging himself into the air to pursue a wide shot or a serve down the T. Against Djokovic, he was soon covered in red clay, which remains his best surface despite winning the Wimbledon boys title on grass in 2017. The concern for him is why he was so spent. This time, Davidovich did not flinch: finishing off a champion who had beaten him soundly in their two previous matches and who has long been his tennis role model (they practiced together in Spain during the pandemic). Davidovich, 22, looks like a Viking prepared to make mayhem with his head closely shaven on the sides and his fair hair pulled back into a knot. He has won 20 major singles titles, nearly completed the Grand Slam last season and has been the second-best men’s player on clay for the last decade behind Rafael Nadal. Men’s tennis is bristling with depth and young stars on the rise like Davidovich’s 18-year-old compatriot Carlos Alcaraz, who recently won the Miami Open. I was really chasing the result constantly.” Off target from the start, he scrapped valiantly before fading to lose his opening match against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-1.

Novak Djokovic reflects on his opening-round loss against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina on Tuesday at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters.

“I didn't like the way I felt physically in the third. “I knew a few days ago when I spoke to you that it's going to take some time for me to really feel my best on the clay,” Djokovic said. The 34-year-old does not have much time to get back on track. “I was hanging on the ropes the entire match. “I always believed that I could come back and win the match, and I stayed there even though a lot of things were against me in terms of how I felt on the court.
