G.O.A.T.
Unfortunately for the serb, Monte Carlo has really became the land of struggle ever since he defeated nadal there in 2015 semi finals, 3 & 3.
Struggled heavily against Berdych in 2015 F, uncharacteristic loads of errors
Lost to Vesely in a quite poor manner in 2016 R32
Struggled against journeymen in 2017 for first 2 rounds before falling to Goffin in QF after going a break up in deciding set(vs a pigeon of him nevertheless)
Played average against two error-machine players in 2018 before ultimately falling to a very poor thiem in 3 sets (who lost 0-6 2-6 to rafa the next day)
Struggled heavily against kohlscriber in 1R in 2019 before bearing fritz and ultimately going down to medvedev in 3 sets in a very poor quality match from him (remember, the Russian is as good on clay as sloth is in running)
And now this loss to Dan Evans (again, a non factor on clay) in a match where he hit 40 unforced errors.
Nole should realistically Focus on Madrid and Rome which have become his fortress since 2016, won twice in Madrid and made almost every final in rome except for 2018 where he lost to nadal in a competitive battle.
In monte carlo, He has had a good share of 2 titles, beating the greatest warrior of tennis world en route.
P.S. :- Fellow posters and dear Nole fans, please don't take this post as an insult or hatred towards the serbian superstar.
