Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev missed the quarter-finals of the ATP 1000 in Monte Carlo. The Serbian world number one surprisingly beat Daniel Evans 4: 6 5: 7 in the Round of 16 on Thursday. The Briton is now meeting with Belgian David Goffin, who overthrew German seeded number five Zverev with sapphire 6: 4 7: 6 (9/7).
Zverev, who appeared in the tournament with an elbow injury, saved four points from the game in the second set tiebreak and clinched a set ball himself, but after 1:51 hours, the 23-year-old had to concede defeat.
Djokovic, whose first tournament since winning the Australian Open in February, missed a steady ball in the second round and was disappointed after the finish: “This was definitely one of my worst performances in recent years.” The 33-year-old said. I was terrified on the field. “
The best player in the top half of the table is Stefanos Tsitsipas. The Greek No. 4 seed defeated Chilean Christian Garen 6: 3 6: 4 and faces Spain’s Alejandro Davidovic Fukina in the quarter-finals, who defeated Frenchman Lucas Puy 6: 2 7: 6 (7/2). .
