“I try to be optimistic in life and consider myself a very optimistic, positive person.” Serbian Djokovic told reporters. “I take lessons from every experience, especially in something as big as what happened in January.
“Once I start playing the match, I obviously have to deal with everything that was probably dormant inside and probably waiting to come out.
“I don’t think it’s a big deal that I’m unable to train or participate in tournaments or make a living দূরে far from it.
“But it was a challenging few months and something I had never felt before. So I will try to use it as fuel for what is coming. “
Djokovic, who has played just three matches this year – all in Dubai – said he missed the competition.

“The last four, five months have been really challenging for me emotionally and emotionally, but here I am. I try to move on. “ Djokovic said.
“My Roland Garros win last year is still fresh in my memory, so I try to use it as an inspiration to kickstart in the best possible way during the claycourt season.
“I want to play the whole claycourt season according to my previous year’s schedule. I realize I probably won’t be at my best, especially earlier this week, so I’m testing my engine, so to speak, and building my game. “
Djokovic has launched his claycourt campaign against Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich Fokina at the Monte Carlo Masters, starting Monday.
