Last year, the World No. 1 wished Kojiro on his sixth birthday and said he hoped to see him when he traveled to Tokyo for the Olympics.

"Hello Kojiro, happy birthday my friend," the Serb said in a video. "Happy sixth birthday. You're looking great, I'm following your tennis progress. All the best, I wish you luck and hopefully I can see you in the Tokyo Olympics."

Cannot disappoint my little friend Koujirou. I booked my flight for Tokyo and will proudly be joining #TeamSerbia for the Olympics. 🇷🇸 https://t.co/23TmSdvc4x

Novak Djokovic lost to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in Monte-Carlo

Novak Djokovic got knocked out in the second round of the Monte-Carlo Masters

Unfortunately, Novak Djokovic was eliminated in the second-round of the Monte-Carlo Masters, losing to Spain's Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in three sets.

The Spaniard took the opening set and was a break up in the second. However, Djokovic clawed his way back to win the second set in a tie-break and force the match into a decider. Davidovich Fokina won the third set 6-1 and sealed his place in the last 16 of the tournament. Djokovic congratulated the Spaniard in his post-match press conference and spoke on how his movement was compromised and that he "collapsed".

"Well, I would like to congratulate Alejandro," Djokovic said in his post-match press conference. "He was the better player. He managed to find a better rhythm I think in the first two sets. I was hanging on the ropes the entire match. I was really chasing the result constantly.

"You know, can't speak too much about my chances. Had some games where I was breakpoints, game points, and I just lost many of those games in the first set, also second. But he could have won this match in straight sets, and I just kind of fought my way through to the third, but then I was just physically, completely -- I collapsed. You know, I couldn't move anymore."

Following his defeat in Monte-Carlo, Djokovic is scheduled to compete at the Serbia Open in Belgrade.
