MONTE CARLO, Monaco—For the second time in 11 months at an ATP Masters 1000 clay-court event, Novak Djokovic was eliminated by left-hander Alejandro Tabilo.
Following his 6-3, 6-4 defeat to the Chilean Wednesday in the second round of the Monte Carlo Masters, the 24-time major champion revealed he wasn’t surprised about the outcome of “the worst day.”
Speaking with press, Djokovic stated, “Look, I was hoping it was not going to happen, but it was quite a high probability I’m going to play this way. Horrible feeling to play this way, and just sorry for all the people that have to witness this.”
