No joke: Djokovic bundled out

-

World men’s tennis No 2 Novak Djokovic yesterday crashed out of the Monte Carlo Rolex Masters as the shocks continued in Monaco. The Serbian, playing his third match back following an elbow injury, went down to David Goffin, who prevailed 6-2 3-6 7-5 in the quarter-finals. Defeat for Djokovic means all three of the world’s top-ranked players are out of the competitio­n after surprise losses for Britain’s Andy Murray and Switzerlan­d’s Stan Wawrinka on Friday (New Zealand time). Belgian Goffin had not previously beaten a top-three player.
