World number one Novak Djokovic suffered an in 3 set quarter‑final exit against Russian Daniil Medvedev at the Monte Carlo Masters.
The 31‑year‑old, winner of the event in 2013 and 2015, lost to the world number 14 in two hours, 20 minutes.
Medvedev faces another Serb in the last four, world number 48 Dusan Lajovic.
Defending champion Rafael Nadal, seeking his 12th Monte Carlo title, came from 4‑1 down to beat world number 35 Guido Pella in 3 sets.
Second seed Nadal won four successive games to serve for a fluctuating opening set with fellow left‑hander Pella, but the Argentine broke again as Nadal conceded five games in a set for the first time in his last 24 sets at the Monte Carlo event.
