Novak Djokovic shrugged off his shock Monte Carlo Masters exit yesterday, insisting he has plenty of time to whip his game into shape ahead of his assault on the French Open. The World No. 1 slumped to a 6-3, 4-6, 6-2 defeat to Russia's Daniil Medvedev in the quarter-finals of a Masters event he has won on two occasions. The defeat also meant that the 15-time major winner has not made a semi-final since claiming a record seventh Australian Open title in January.

"The French Open is the ultimate goal on clay. It's expected in a way for me to peak right at that tournament, because that's what I'm aiming for," said Djokovic, who has swept the last three Grand Slams.
