Novak Djokovic

Novak Djokovic says he is "motivated" to make a better than usual start to the clay-court season in Monte Carlo as he tunes up for a 23rd Grand Slam bid at the French Open.

The Serb is back on court after missing Indian Wells and Miami Open. "I hope I will start well, because the last three tournaments in Monte Carlo I have not been very successful," the World No. 1 said on Sunday.
