Monte Carlo Masters: Dan Evans shocks world number one Novak Djokovic

British number one Dan Evans claimed the biggest win of his career by beating Novak Djokovic in the last 16 of the Monte Carlo Masters.

He was able to wrap up the opening set before Djokovic fought back at the start of the second.

But Evans recovered and held his nerve to wrap up a 6-4 7-5 win.

In the first meeting between the pair, Evans started aggressively and took advantage of some sloppy play from the 18-time Grand Slam winner.

He led 3-0 before Djokovic made it 3-2, but a lengthy sixth game put Evans 4-2 up.
