Men’s tennis world number one, Novak Djokovic has lost his opening match at the Monte Carlo Masters.

It was Djokovic’s first match since February and only his fourth this year.

The 34-year-old Serbian star had been forced to miss the Australian Open and many ATP Tour tournaments this year due to his COVID-19 vaccination status.

He bowed out to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, who is ranked 46th in the world, in a three set match.

Wow.

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina gets the biggest win of his life, beating the world number one Novak Djokovic 6-3, 6-7(5), 6-1 to reach the 3rd round in Monte Carlo.

Djokovic is a two-time champion at Monte Carlo but conceded that it has been a difficult start to the year.

He says he is still reflecting on the Australian Open saga, and if something surfaces, he acknowledges it, and then moves on.

ADP reports a surprising decline in November private sector jobs, raising concerns about labor market resilience and consumer sentiment.

ADP has revealed a surprise decline of 32,000 private sector jobs in November, signalling renewed pressure across the labour market. Small businesses in particular have been hit hardest, raising fresh concerns about resilience heading into the new year.

Economists warn that slowing hiring momentum and weakening pay growth point to a broader shift in worker demand. With consumers increasingly expecting unemployment to rise, sentiment across industries continues to cool.

The market now turns its attention to the upcoming Bureau of Labor Statistics report, which will offer a crucial read on whether this slowdown is temporary—or a sign of something much larger.
