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.
However, Djokovic noticeably tired in the third set before sinking to a shock 6-3, 4-6, 6-1 defeat.

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.”
