March 27 : Two-times champion Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the Monte-Carlo Masters, tournament organisers said on Friday.

The 38-year-old Serb pulled out of the clay-court event after also withdrawing from the ongoing Miami Open with a right shoulder injury.

Djokovic last competed at Indian Wells earlier this month, where he was beaten by defending champion Jack Draper in the round of 16.

The 24-times Grand Slam winner captured the Monte-Carlo Masters titles in 2013 and 2015.
