Djokovic's 24 grand slam singles titles also are the most by a man in tennis history and the most by anyone in the Open era, which began in 1968.<\/p>\n

Djokovic is entered this week in the Monte Carlo Masters clay-court tournament as he prepares to defend his title at Roland-Garros, where play begins on May 26.<\/p>\n
