Tennis: Djokovic “hopes” Nadal can play at Roland Garros. The Serbian spoke about the absence of Nadal, who had to give up the Masters 1000 in Monte-Carlo which begins on Sunday.

Nadal returned to the circuit in January in Brisbane, but he injured his thigh in the quarter-finals and withdrew from the hard court tournaments where he was expected. The Spaniard had not planned to play in Miami at the end of March, but was enthusiastically expected in Monte Carlo.
