​Novak Djokovic could not be at a very high level, and it eventually showed on the scoreboard (he lost the match, 4-6, 7-5, 6-4). The world leader was eliminated in the 1/8 finals of the Monte Carlo Masters, and throughout the match with Lorenzo Musetti had several moments of nervousness.

The Serb argued with the referee Oreli Tourte on the boundary ball (on the unofficial replay it was possible to see that the Serb was right), quickly broke the racket forward, and at the press conference he continued to show himself in an incendiary version.

The Joker stated that it was not a tragedy that he lost, but that he felt bad that he had been defeated.

“I feel terrible after a game like that, to be honest. I’m moving forward,” Nole said, among other things.

The world leader congratulated Musetti on the win and said the Italian was more inspired in important moments of Thursday’s game.

“You always hope to have a good day at the office. I know I’m not playing great and he’s doing well right now, so I knew it was going to be a tough match,” Jokerul concluded.
