MONTE CARLO: World No.5 Novak Djokovic, a finalist at the recent Miami Masters, said on Sunday that he did not have high expectations for the Monte Carlo Masters as he was suffering from the effects of an eye infeetion.

Djokovic has not won any title since taking gold at 2024 Paris.

Miami marked a return to form even though the 37-year-old lost the final to Czech Jakub Mensik.

`I`m glad that I found at least in Miami that joy on the court and, I feel, performance level,` he said.

`Let`s see if I can carry that into clay.

The Serb admitted the eye infection and a viral infection made him think twice about competing in Monte Carlo.-AFP
