Daniil Medvedev turns on the style to dump Novak Djokovic out of the Monte-Carlo Masters
World number one Novak Djokovic is out of the Monte-Carlo Masters after falling to Daniil Medvedev in the quarter-finals.
Medvedev entered the match-up having lost all three of his previous matches against Djokovic.

There was better news for Djokovic’s fellow Serb Dusan Lajovic, however, as he overcame Lorenzo Sonego to reach his first Masters-level semi-final.
“Right now it’s a relief and I showed to myself that I could do it,” Lajovic said after his 6-4, 7-5 win.
“The tournament is still not over but I’m extremely happy and satisfied with the way I’ve played this week.”
