Djokovic bows out of Monte Carlo

Monte Carlo: World number one Novak Djokovic crashed out of the Monte Carlo Masters in the last 16 on Thursday following a shock 6-4, 7-5 defeat by Britain’s Dan Evans. Djokovic, the Monte

Carlo champion in 2013 and 2015, was broken five times by the 33rd-ranked Evans and suffered his first loss of the year, having won the Australian Open

for the ninth time in February. “To be honest this has been one of the worst matches from my side I can recall in the last few

years,” said Djokovic. “I felt awful on the court overall. Nothing worked. Just one of

those days.”
