Novak Djokovic returns to the quarter-finals in Monte-Carlo five years later! The Serb overpowered Lorenzo Musetti in two sets on Thursday in the round of 16 of the Monaco tournament (7-5, 6-3). Despite some physical weaknesses, the world number 1 was able to take revenge against the man who had beaten him last year at the same stage of the competition. Facing Alex De Minaur on Friday, Djokovic will have the opportunity to reach the final four of the Monaco tournament for the first time since the 2015 season. In the other part of the table, Daniil Medvedev failed to overcome his demons against Karen Khachanov (6-3, 7-5). Tensed at the end of the match, the fourth player in the world left after eliminating Gaël Monfils in the previous round. In the shock of the afternoon, Stefanos Tsitsipas defeated Alexander Zverev (7-5, 7-6[3]).
