Djokovic out of Italian Open after defeat by Tabilo

World number one Novak Djokovic is out of the Italian Open after a shock straight-set defeat by Chile's Alejandro Tabilo in the third round.

Tabilo needed just 67 minutes to beat a subdued Djokovic 6-2 6-3 for his first career win over a top-10 ranked opponent.

The 26-year-old was dominant throughout, breaking the Serb's serve four times and not conceding a single break point.

"It's incredible. I came on court just looking around and soaking it all in, trying to process everything. I'm trying to wake up right now," said world number 32 Tabilo.
