Tabilo Stuns Djokovic in Monte Carlo Opener

In a surprising upset at the Monte Carlo Masters 1000, Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic was defeated in straight sets by Chilean Alejandro Tabilo, losing 6-3, 6-4. This match marked Djokovic's first clay outing of the season and continued his struggle on the surface, reminiscent of his previous loss to Tabilo at the Rome Masters last year. Tabilo's victory further solidifies his perfect record against Djokovic, having now won both encounters between the two players. Djokovic, who has been chasing his 100th ATP Tour title, has yet to achieve this milestone after numerous attempts since his Olympic victory last August. The defeat also highlights the difficulties faced by top players, as fellow competitor Alexander Zverev also lost in his opening match at the tournament. Djokovic's performance raised concerns about his readiness for the clay season, with his next competition being the Mutua Madrid Open.
