Nagging wrist injury sidelines Djokovic

Novak Djokovic said he has no idea when he will play again after a right wrist injury contributed to his 7-5, 6-2 Monte Carlo Masters semifinal loss to Roger Federer on Saturday.

World No 2 and defending champion Djokovic, who played with a brace on his wrist, revealed he felt pain in his wrist all week. But with the French Open just five weeks away, and his next scheduled event the Madrid Masters in two weeks, timing is everything for the Serb who won the 2013 Monte Carlo title against Rafael Nadal.

"I'll just rest now. I cannot play tennis for some time - how long, I don't know," said Djokovic. "It's really not in my hands anymore. I'm going to rest and see when it can heal 100 percent, then I will be back on the court.
