Monte Carlo Masters: Novak Djokovic beats Lorenzo Musetti to reach quarter-finals

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.

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.

The Serb, 36, is only the second player to reach 10 Monte Carlo quarter-finals in the Open era.

The world number one will play Australia's Alex de Minaur next.

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.
