Djokovic comes to the tournament undefeated so far this season, carrying a 9-0 record that includes a run to a record ninth Australian Open crown.
The Serb, who has triumphed twice in Monte-Carlo in 2013 and 2015, opted out of playing Miami but is not too concerned about his lack of match play heading into the clay swing.
“I have had some periods in my career where I didn't play a tournament for maybe couple months, then came back. So, I mean, I don't think there is anything special I have to do in terms of preparation in order for me to feel my best on the court,” assured Djokovic.
“I've been training quite a lot on clay. Actually ever since I pulled out from Miami, I was hitting on clay. Here in Monte-Carlo actually where I reside with the family, it was convenient and feels great.
“I feel physically prepared. Mentally I missed tennis last couple months that I haven't been competing. I look forward to my first match.”
