“I’m frustrated. No one likes to lose. We’re professional athletes. That’s what we’re doing. We go to court to compete and try to win against each other.” Djokovic, a two-time winner in Monaco, told reporters.
“I didn’t like the way I felt physically in the third set. I’ve just run out of gas. Just can’t really be in a meeting with him. If you can’t stay in the assembly, can’t feel your feet on the clay, it’s mission impossible.
The Monte-Carlo Masters: “So I do not like the feeling I felt in the third set, but I will go with my team to find out why and go back to the drawing board and hopefully next week will be better in Belgrade.”
Djokovic says he hopes to build his form for the French Open, which starts next month, where he will defend his crown.
“That’s the big goal of the soil season,” he said. Djokovic said. “I knew a few days ago when I spoke to you that it would take me a while to feel my best on the ground.
“It simply came to our notice then. Never played very well in the opening tournament of the clay season. But it’s okay … I have to accept defeat and keep working. “
