Haven't ever watched Marko play doubles. They should communicate well being brothers. I doubt it will translate into a deep run though. Djokovic and Fognini were a good team.
Basically it's very clear he's no top 300 player, but he's adequate enough to make a doubles match competitive if they win the important points and if Novak wins the few extra sick points by doing Novak things..

Do expect them to be more exposed on clay though

Players were received by Prince Albert II of Monaco, the reigning monarch of the Principality of Monaco, at the Prince's Palace on Sunday:

Gee how big of a fluke is Pouille? Gets to the AO SF just to be a pigeon and then doesn’t win a single match outside of the AO. :rolleyes:

Going for Thiem more in hope but hard to look past Nadal.
Felix and Denis teaming up in the doubles as are Novak and younger bro Marko (always felt a little sorry for the sibling).

Someone, anyone, I beg you:

Please GIFify Felix's response in the stands to Shapo's backhand pass.

This is a matter of utmost importance.

The biggest hilarity is when Marko is the one playing a great point and Novak is the one ****ing up routine volleys.

HE TRUSTED YOU NOVAK

You made me look up Sanremo. On the Wikipedia page by "famous people from" it lists
ZOMG THAT IS AMAZING

As a huge cycling buff, we all know Sanremo as the finish of Milano-Sanremo, the longest one day race in the sport. Then I found out that the Giro d'Italia of 1987 started in Sanremo like 3 days before Fabio was born there.

Wonder if Fognini considers MC his home tournament. He hails from Sanremo which is like 15km away just over the border and resides in a neighbouring town.
Could be, but maybe not because different nation and all that.

When I was in Monte Carlo, Italy was like literally the next stop on the bus route tho, so the distances are indeed small.

kohli vs djokovic rematch!
I took a look at their H2H and although Djoko leads the series comfortably 8-2, the scorelines suggest that he never really had an easy match againt the German. This is gonna be a very tough 1st round for Djoko.

Interesting that the city has an Italian name even though the principality is French-speaking.

The tournament is played on French soil not in Monaco contrary to what many believe. And BTW, Monte Carlo is the name of a neighbourhood in Monaco.
