Novak Djokovic to Face Alex de Minaur in Monte Carlo Quarter-Finals

Novak Djokovic secured his spot in the quarter-finals of the Monte-Carlo Masters after defeating Lorenzo Musetti in a thrilling match. The 24-time Grand Slam champion avenged his loss to Musetti from last year’s tournament with a 7-5, 6-3 victory.

The match was a rollercoaster of emotions as Musetti initially took the lead with a stunning drop shot and break in the first set. However, Djokovic managed to find his rhythm and capitalized on Musetti’s mistakes to turn the tide in his favor. The turning point came when Djokovic broke Musetti’s serve in the eighth game of the first set, ultimately clinching the set.

Despite both players struggling to hold their serves in the second set, Djokovic maintained his composure and emerged victorious after nearly two hours of intense play. The Serbian star will now face off against Alex de Minaur in the next round after the Australian defeated Alexei Popyrin earlier in the day.

Djokovic, who is using the clay-court tournament to fine-tune his preparations for the upcoming French Open, expressed his satisfaction with the win over Musetti. He acknowledged the challenges posed by the talented Italian player but remained focused on the task at hand.
