Novak Djokovic took revenge on Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti with a straight-set win to move into the quarter-finals at the Monte Carlo Masters.<\/b><\/p>\n
Djokovic, beaten by Musetti at the last-16 stage in Monte Carlo last year, came back from a break of serve down in the first set to win 7-5 6-3.<\/p>\n
The Serb, 36, is only the second player to reach 10 Monte Carlo quarter-finals in the Open era.<\/p>\n
The world number one will play Australia’s Alex de Minaur next.<\/p>\n
After winning five of the last six games to turn around the opening set, Djokovic twice lost serve after going a break up in the second.<\/p>\n
But the two-time winner, competing in his first event since splitting with former coach Goran Ivanisevic, responded to those setbacks and was able to serve out the match to love.<\/p>\n
He will hope to reach his first semi-final at the tournament since his last title victory nine years ago against De Minaur, who beat compatriot Alexei Popyrin 6-3 6-4.<\/p>\n
“I don’t think I am still at my top level but it was a great test today against a great player, a very talented player,” Djokovic said. <\/p>\n
Italy’s second seed Jannik Sinner<\/b> beat German Jan-Lennard Struff 6-4 6-2 to set up a quarter-final against Danish seventh seed Holger Rune or Bulgarian ninth seed Grigor Dimitrov.<\/p>\n
But fourth seed Daniil Medvedev is out following a 6-3 7-5 loss to fellow Russian Karen Khachanov<\/b>.<\/p>\n
Khachanov will meet Stefanos Tsitsipas <\/b>in the last eight after the Greek 12th seed overcame Germany’s Alexander Zverev 7-5 7-6 (7-3).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
