World No. 1 Novak Djokovic crashed out of the Monte Carlo Masters in the Last 16 on Thursday following a shock 6-4, 7-5 defeat by Britain’s Dan Evans. Meanwhile, 11-time champion Rafael Nadal powered into the quarter-finals. Nadal required just 55 minutes to demolish Bulgarian 14th seed Grigor Dimitrov 6-1, 6-1.

Djokovic, the Monte Carlo champion in 2013 and 2015, was broken five times by the 33rd-ranked Evans and suffered his first loss of the year, having won the Australian Open for the ninth time in February. Evans, who dumped out this month’s Miami Open winner Hubert Hurkacz in the previous round, will play 11th seed David Goffin for a place in the semi-finals.
